Sleep Apnea

Treatments for Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

There are many ways to treat obstructive sleep apnea, one of the most effective being the CPAP device, or continuous positive airway pressure.
With a CPAP mask, air is delivered under pressure through the face mask to the individual. Also, other contributors to sleep apnea include smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, as well as being overweight.
For individuals who snore heavily, it is recommended that they stay away from items which cause them to be drowsy, such as antihistamines, sleeping pills, and alcohol.
Sleeping positions such as on the side or keeping the head elevated will also help relieve the sleep apnea suffer reduce snoring.

There are various products available that are designed to help relieve sleep apnea sufferers such as antisnoring pillows strapped to the sleeper’s head so they cannot roll onto their back, as well as special visco elastic memory foam products can be utilized in order to help relieve sleep apnea symptoms and snoring. Other options include oral appliances that can be put in before going to bed as well as surgeries such as a uvulopalatoplasty, in which the uvula hanging from the back of the mouth is literally removed completely in order to provide more air passage and less obstruction. Also, the air passageway that runs through the throat can also be surgically enlarged through a process called uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.

Central Sleep Apnea

For central sleep apnea, a CPAP device has been effective for those with obstructive apnea being part of the cause of the central sleep apnea disorder. Additional oxygen delivered through the nostrils can also provide help for some individuals.
There are also several drugs on the market, such as theophylline and acetazolamide, which can actually stimulate breathing. We recommend that you speak with your doctor for any further information.
