A prospective cohort study investigating patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) was conducted to determine the prevalence of dysfunctional breathing and if continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy improves associated symptoms. Almost half of newly diagnosed patients with OSA had dysfunctional breathing and CPAP was not an effective treatment. Dysfunctional breathing is common in patients with OSA.
