I’m a 26F marathon runner, and recently had a sleep study done. I actually went to the PCP for unexplained weight gain, which is weird because I run almost every day, and offhandedly mentioned how tired I was all the time hence doing the sleep study.

My AHI was 10, RDI of 14.2. I got prescribed a CPAP and I don’t know what to expect. I also heard treating sleep apnea can actually cause weight gain, is that true in anyone’s experience? I was also told that my unexplained weight gain may have contributed to sleep apnea. I’m feeling torn and nervous about treating sleep apnea if it can cause weight gain, but I still want to sleep better. Just looking for peoples experiences with CPAP and whether weight gain is an issue.
