Abstract
Obesity is recognized as one of the predominant risk factor for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Even moderate reduction in weight and body mass index (BMI) could reduce the severity of OSA and is recommended as part of comprehensive therapeutic approach in patients who are prescribed Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy. However, this remains a challenge for most patients and some may even report weight gain. In this article, we report a case history highlighting weight gain while on PAP therapy and review the literature on this phenomenon.
