Can I use Cpap during the day?

I feel like I have a severe lack of oxygen during the day and I use a cpap at night. Would it be ok to use it during the day to relieve my shortness of breath? I use inhalers which dont work and I'm up to my ears on what to do.

The cpap is for when you are sleeping, normally. Please, go to your dr. asap to see what is going on. Take care.

Of course you can use it. Get your breath back, then call your Dr. and let them know that you're having trouble that your inhalers aren't fixing.

It's worth a try. Maybe you should tell your physician about this also.
