CPAP adaptation
Trying to get my medical back following severe sleep apnea diagnosis (54 interruptions per hour).
Currently experiencing pb with CPAP adaptation (the air pressure is seriously inflating my stomach would you believe... waking me up and generating chest pain, and if I decrease the pressure CPAP becomes useless...). Are there pilots in the same situation out there? |
First question, what is your weight at the moment, have you had an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon examine you. With OSA you are at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death, I trust you have had an exercise electrocardiogram and even a cardiac MRI scan or echocardiogram at rest and under stress.

I agree with air pig
Given that you only use CPAP at night I do not se the relevance to your licence. Whether you get through your medical depends upon the OSA not the treatment |
UK CAA flowchart on Sleep Apnoea here. I don't know about France, sorry.
