I doubt it. I would think it would affect your liver more than anything. They have better medications for pain and sleep now. At this point, you need to let the doctor figure it out.

If your CPAP is not working great, the settings need to be changed or you need a new mask type. Are you on a nasal or full face mask? Do you know what your pressure is set to?
