How BiPAP and CPAP Differ in Function, Comfort, and Cost in Pakistan
CPAP vs. BiPAP in Pakistan: Which Machine is Right for You?
When you’re dealing with sleep apnea, COPD, or chronic respiratory disorders, choosing the right machine CPAP or BiPAP can feel overwhelming. With so many options, brands, and price differences in Pakistan, how do you know what’s right for your condition and budget?
As a certified respiratory therapist and founder of Adnan Respicare, I’ve helped thousands of patients across Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad make confident, informed choices—and finally sleep better, breathe easier, and live healthier.
Let’s break it down simply for you.
What’s the Difference Between CPAP and BiPAP?
| Type | Best For | How It Works | Starting Price (PKR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) | Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) | Delivers one constant pressure level to keep your airway open while you sleep | 70,000 |
| BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) | Severe OSA, COPD, or neuromuscular breathing disorders | Provides two pressure levels: one for inhaling (IPAP) and a lower one for exhaling (EPAP) | 120,000+ |
If you’ve tried a CPAP but find it hard to exhale against the pressure, you’re not alone. Many of our patients report much better comfort and sleep quality with BiPAP thanks to its natural breathing support.
