Can CPAP or UPPP reduce blood pressure?

Posted by Gene Miller on December 12, 1997 at 05:21:02:

My blood pressure has been steadily increasing over the past 2 years and is now 155/100. A sleep study has confirmed that I have sleep apnea. I am healthy otherwise. My doctor feels that the apnea may be causing the elevated BP. He recommends that I try CPAP or UPPP to see if it helps. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with CPAP/UPPP lowering blood pressure?
