CPAP Therapy
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apneas, occur when the muscles in the throat relax and block the airway, leading to a temporary pause in breathing. These pauses often cause the person to wake up briefly in order to resume breathing. Sleep apnea can result in fragmented and poor-quality sleep, leading to daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and other health issues.
​
The most common and effective treatment for sleep apnea is a CPAP machine. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy involves a special machine and a mask. When you turn on the machine, it gently blows a continuous stream of air into your throat, keeping your airway open throughout the night.
The mask is designed to fit over your nose or both your nose and mouth, depending on your needs and preferences. It may take a little getting used to, but most people quickly adapt to wearing it.
​
The benefits of CPAP therapy are remarkable. It improves the quality of your sleep, increases your energy levels during the day, and reduces daytime sleepiness. It can also lower the risk of more serious health issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke, which are associated with untreated sleep apnea.
