Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a general term for breathing problems that occur during sleep. People with sleep apnea stop breathing throughout the night and up to 100 times per hour. Sleep apnea affects approximately 20 million adults, and has serious negative health effects when present with other conditions.

Common signs and symptoms of sleep apnea:

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Loud disruptive snoring
  • Restless sleep
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Depression or irritability
  • Morning headaches
Many people are not even aware that they have sleep apnea. A bed partner is the first to notice their symptoms.

CPAP Therapy

What is CPAP therapy?

CPAP is defined as continuous positive airway pressure. CPAP is the most widely accepted treatment for sleep apnea. A bedside device gently delivers pressurized air through a nasal mask or other system. This pressure keeps the upper airway open to help prevent apneas. CPAP treatment does not involve drugs or surgery and helps hundreds of thousands of people enjoy healthier sleep and a healthier life.
