Does Apnea Machine Cause Bronchitis?
my husband has been using an apnea machine for a few years now...just recently within the last 3 weeks he has acquired a cough, chills, sweats, slight fever and has noticed blood in his phlegm....we went to the clinic and the doctor sent him for a chest x ray saying it is probably bronchitis....he thinks that the apnea machine might have something to do with this....he is a smoker...he smokes 3 packs a week...

Hi. I can understand your concern.
He will need a chest x ray to evaluate if its a lung infection and may require treatment for the same.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
