My blood pressure goes up somewhat during sleep, but not as much as it does if I do not use my Cpap machine.  I sleep much better and have not had an Afib episode for one year.  I have recently lost weight, so that may be helping with the sleep apnea.  I agree with Tom, you are at much greater risk without the machine.

CPAP will save you from possible stroke and/or heat failure later on in life.,  Stay on it!  the more you use itm and easier it will be for you.  I've used it for 5 years now, and find it very helpful in my sleep,
