Hi Robbie, if my sleep apnea proves to be the CAUSE of my enlarged atrium, PAC and valve leak, I would encourage you to challenge your sleep doctor to find you a CPAP mask that works for you. My heart conditions were discovered after an EKG and subsequent echocardiogram; and doctors initially thought the PACs caused the enlarged atrium because that was all they found during my holter monitor test that could possibly explain enlargement. Since I was using by CPAP during the monitor test, I most likely am not experiencing more severe Afib or apnea irregularities that would better explain the atrium enlargement. Hoping their explanation is correct and enlargement has stopped so valve leakage does not increase, or other issues evolve.

@sqwiz thanks for the information....I may try it again....my PVCs and PACs are bothersome, sometimes scary...the CPAP machine I tried was a leviathan....but maybe they make a smaller one now...my last echocardiogram was normal with EFR 65%....I can’t begin to tell you how I admire so many people on this forum, like yourself and others who have had more severe heart ❤️ concerns than mine....everyone’s courage and concern is so admirable
Thanks again for replying and good luck to you..🐸
