Snoring and Sleep Apnea patients using CPAP may experience some amount of weight gain. Individuals using CPAP are prone to weight gain due to decreased energy expenditure from a reduction in an active need to breathe. The researchers also found that CPAP users had increased circulating Ghrelin and decreased Leptin, a hormonal pattern that is consistent with decreased energy expenditure and increased appetite and obesity.
