migraine headaches with CPAP

Will cpap treatment bring on a migraine headache? It seems my migraines come more often when using cpap.

Answer

It shouldn't exist migraine headaches with CPAP. Most patients with sleep apnea have fewer migraines when they start using CPAP treatment.
However, if you have now a different pressure settings on your CPAP machine, then it must be a reason for your headaches.

Regarding sleep apnea, the main reason for migraines is the oxygen deprivation of your brain. The CPAP machine should deliver enough oxygen to make you feel better.

Something is wrong, maybe you have a leak or a differet pressure setting.

Have you thought to see again a sleep technician? He can detect the differences.

I hope it helps.
