FAQ'S


Here you will find a detailed listing of Frequently Asked Questions regarding Sleep Apnea. 
 

Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing is interrupted repeatedly during sleep. Sleep apnea happens when upper airway muscles relax during sleep and pinch off the airway, which prevents you from getting enough air. 

If you experience one or more of the following symptoms you possibly suffer from OSA.

  • Snoring                          
  • Anxiety           
  • Poor concentration
  • Depression                      
  • Insomnia        
  • Daytime sleepiness     
  • Headaches        
  • Overweight    
  • Memory loss      
  • Choking   

CPAP treatment is the golden standard treatment for sleep apnea and stands for continuous positive airway pressure. CPAP treatment keeps your airway open by providing mild air pressure on the airway while you sleep.

CPAP reduces snoring effectively and can even stop snoring altogether by keeping the airways open throughout the night.

Untreated OSA can have serious health consequences including: 

  • Heart problems, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attack and heart failure
  • High blood pressure and stroke
  • Weight gain and obesity
  • Insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
  • Increased traffic and workplace accidents
  • Impotence and lack of sex drive
