Effect of Nasal CPAP on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Overlap Syndrome

Nasal CPAP will improve cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performance in patients with
overlap syndrome(COPD and OSA). Nasal CPAP is proven to improve cardiopulmonary exercise
testing in patients with OSA. The investigators hypothesis is that patients with overlap
syndrome will have a greater improvement in their cardiopulmonary exercise testing besides a
possible improvement in their lung function test and airway resistance.

Patients will be included if they have overlap syndrome. Patients will undergo a spirometry
and CPET before being started on CPAP. Those tests will be repeated after 8-12 weeks of CPAP
use. Patients will be excluded if they have any contraindication to mild exercise or they
can't perform an exercise test due to limited mobility.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

- COPD

Exclusion Criteria:

- Inability to perform exercise test due to musculoskeletal limitation

- Cardiac condition preventing patient from mild exercise

- Continuous oxygen supplement
