Subcutaneous Emphysema
Anyone hear of Subcutaneous Emphysema being caused by CPAP? I am getting evaluated for Subcutaneous Emphysema. Other caused could be stomach acid reflux or fracture during upper GI procedure.

Re: Subcutaneous Emphysema
Dr. Google says it's possible but exceptionally rare:

In this, and a handful of other online references, CPAP alone was not the cause of the condition.

Re: Subcutaneous Emphysema
Yeah, I found exactly one case that MAYBE is related to CPAP use(the first linked by Miss Emerita), but it also happened after another injury and the relationship to CPAP was only through the "it happened after" vector. Looking at the second link it also required a precipitating injury.

Sleep loss is a terrible thing. People get grumpy, short-tempered, etc. That happens here even among the generally friendly. Try not to take it personally.

Re: Subcutaneous Emphysema
Looking back at the OP's history . . .
Pretty much one thing after another.
Time to look out of the box--for a better doctor.
