How Effective a Cpap Therapy for Sleep Apnea Treatment??

Sleep apnea disease has become quite common among American Adults. Generally, studies show that men are at higher risk of getting sleep apnea than women. This problem is highly dangerous for your healthy life. Sleep apnea is usually categorized as Obstructive, central and mixed sleep apnea.

Major Symptoms of Sleep troubles are:

• ·         Daytime sleepiness
• ·         Insomnia
• ·         Awareness of obstructed breathing during sleep
• ·         Snoring
• ·         Headache
• ·         Dry mouth on waking
• ·         Frequent arousal during sleep
• ·         Breathing problems while sleeping

Sleep apnea usually occurs during sleep. When an apnea occurs, sleep usually is disrupted due to inadequate breathing and poor oxygen levels in the blood. Sometimes this means the person wakes up completely, but sometimes this can mean the person comes out of a deep level of sleep and into a more shallow level of sleep. Sleep apnea can affect anyone at any age, even children. If left untreated, sleep apnea can result in a growing number of health problems, including stroke, high blood pressure, depression, headache, heart failure etc. Additionally, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for poor performance in everyday activities.  

Sleep apnea is actually linked to several chronic diseases. An obvious problem that comes from poor sleep is fatigue. This can become dangerous in situations such as driving. Unfortunately, sleep medicines don't offer a cure. Many people with resistant high blood pressure suffer from sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is diagnosed by the patient’s symptoms and by a sleep study test.  A sleep study is done in a clinical lab using monitors. The sleep study can also follow the depth of the patient’s sleep and can determine possible treatments that might be helpful.

CPAP Therapy curing sleep apnea:

CPAP therapy is widely used by specialists to cure the sleep apnea. CPAP works by pushing a constant stream of air through the sleeper's airway, to keep it from closing. Sleep apnea occurs when muscles in the back of the throat collapse, closing off the airway. This causes a person to stop breathing. It also interrupts a person's sleep cycle, since those who suffer from sleep apnea are awakened, however briefly, often many times throughout the night by their breathing problem. 

The sleep apnea patient must wear a specially designed mask that uses pressure to send air flowing through the nasal passages. The influx of air keeps the throat from collapsing during sleep and allows the patient to breathe freely without worry of episodes of non breathing. 

CPAP also minimizes and even eliminates snoring so your partner can get a better night's rest!
