Can Usage Of CPAP Machine Cause Right Sided Tingling Sensation From Face To Leg?
Hi I have experienced pins and needles that start on right side of lips then extend down right arm and right leg. This has happened twice now - both whilst in bed. I do have to use a cpap machine at night due to sleep apnoea so am unsure if this is the cause, but whatever it is it really does scare me when it happens - any suggestions you have would be gratefully received
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if usage of CPAP machine cause right sided tingling sensation from face to leg . Well there can be many side effects of CPAP like naausea , sinusitis or congestion but the symptoms you mention in query are not known to cause by CPAP . There can be may reasons for symptoms you mention in query like neuropathy , migraine , nerve compresson neuralgias , vitamin B 12 deficiency , sea food and multiple sclerosis .
