Treatments For Sleep Apnea
Treatment for Sleep Apnea
Millions of Americans have problems sleeping. One of the leading
sleep disorders is called Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea occurs when a
blockage occurs in the throat of the person and blocks oxygen
from reaching the lungs. A person with sleep apnea can stop
breathing for a few seconds or up to a minute. People with sleep
apnea can stop breathing up to one hundreds times in one night.
Every time the body does not get oxygen, it instinctually wakes
up. Sleep apnea sufferers can awake many times during the night
causing them an extremely disruptive sleep.
Sleep apnea does not just disturb a person's sleep but also
their day. If you don't get enough sleep you will be fatigued
and possibly irritable during the day. However for sleep apnea
sufferers there is a treatment that is extremely affective. It
is called CPAP.
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Air Pressure. The device is
a mask that is worn at night during sleep. It looks like a
catchers mask, but is not uncomfortable once a person gets used
to it. It forces air down the lungs so the person does not wake
up. This treatment method has proven overwhelming effective in
patients that suffer from sleep apnea. If you think you are
suffering from sleep apnea it is advised that you consult with a
physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
