Sleep Apnea occurs when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Treating sleep apnea is essential because it can lead to more serious problems. A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine helps treat sleep apnea by keeping your airways open while you sleep, ensuring you receive the oxygen you need for optimal function. Using these machines can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce your risk of numerous health issues, including heart disease and stroke.

Application of CPAP Machine

A continuous positive airway pressure machine uses mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while you sleep. Your healthcare provider may prescribe CPAP to treat sleep-related breathing disorders, including sleep apnea.

Advantage: Treating sleep apnea improves the quality of life:

• No more snoring
• Wake up refreshed
• Less daytime fatigue
• Better concentration
• Reduction in morning headaches

CPAP machines prevent snoring by creating continuous positive air pressure that keeps your muscles from collapsing. This way, the soft tissues of your neck, throat, and mouth do not partially block your airway, preventing the “snore” sound. CPAP machines also reduce your risk of health complications from sleep disorder.
