Yes, definitely if sleep study has already been done and you are being diagnosed with OSA,use a CPAP mask accordingly fitting your face without any leakage,get the pressure settings adjusted or you can use an auto CPAP,plus if your sats are dropping,you may need oxygen support as well depending on ur situation.
