Abstract
Concurrent treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension in a patient, via a pressure generating device, includes providing a flow of treatment gas to an airway of a patient in accordance with an initial set of flow parameters with respect to an obstructive sleep apnea mode. Responsive to determining that the patient has achieved stable breathing while receiving the flow of treatment gas, the flow parameters are increased above the initial set of flow parameters with respect to a hyper-ventilation mode. The flow of treatment gas is then provided to the airway of the patient in accordance with the increased flow parameters for a predetermined period of time. The increased flow parameters are configured to bring the patient's breath into accordance with target patient breath parameters configured to inflate the patient's lungs beyond a threshold for activating pulmonary stretch receptors of the airway of the patient.
