Many Pulmovista patients notice dramatic improvements in daytime alertness, energy, and mood within the first 1–2 weeks of consistent CPAP use. Cognitive improvements — better concentration, sharper memory — typically follow over the first 4–8 weeks. Blood pressure improvements become measurable at 3–6 months of consistent use. The key word is consistent: CPAP must be used for the full duration of sleep every night to achieve its maximum benefit. Patients who use CPAP for only part of the night — or on only some nights — significantly reduce their treatment benefit. Dr. Dixit Kumar Thakur monitors CPAP compliance data at every Pulmovista follow-up appointment and works with patients to overcome any barriers to consistent use.
