CPAP vs. BiPAP: What’s the Difference—And Which One Is Right for You?

CPAP vs. BiPAP: What’s the Difference—And Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re dealing with sleep apnea, COPD, or chronic breathing difficulties, choosing the right therapy device can make all the difference in your health and quality of life.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): Best for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It delivers a steady, constant air pressure to keep airways open throughout the night.

  • BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure): Offers two pressure levels—one for inhaling, one for exhaling—making it more suitable for central sleep apnea, COPD, or conditions with weakened breathing effort.

You may need a CPAP if you experience:

  • Loud snoring

  • Gasping or choking during sleep

  • Daytime fatigue

You may need a BiPAP if you experience:

  • Difficulty exhaling against pressure

  • Underlying lung conditions

  • Central or complex sleep apnea

Persistent sleep-related breathing issues should never be ignored. A professional sleep study can help determine the most effective treatment.
