MAC and Sleep Apnea

Posted by lorrainewenn @lorrainewenn, Apr 8 9:24am

I have mild sleep apnea and noticed that I cough up more mucus in the morning when I sleep with my CPAP machine.
I mentioned this to my pulmonologist and he said that the moist air from the CPAP machine may break up the mucus , making it easier to expel during morning ACT.
I recently switched doctors now that I had my visit to the Mayo Clinic. I will review this with Dr.Chalmers at my next visit.
Has anyone experienced this?
Thank you
Lorraine
