Sleep apnea. Now what?

Sleep technology has made many advancements since the days when you were stuck with one kind of CPAP mask. There's lots of variety to make it easier to acquire the mask that really fits. But with choice comes uncertainty and confusion. Where should you begin?

Snoring can come and go throughout your generation. And with proper treatment action, your snoring can improve. “Snoring can improve or cease with treatments to avert your airway from collapsing in the night. 

If you have obstructive sleep apnea, then you'll want to observe your children for signs that they might have sleep apnea as well. Set an example of adhering to your treatment plan and putting your health as a priority.

Does your bed companion ever nudge you in the ribs to get you to stop snoring or start breathing again if you’ve stopped? If you responded yes and are over 50, there’s a pretty fair chance you have sleep apnea, a condition in which the airway becomes obstructed repeatedly during sleep, causing you to wake up repeatedly and have disturbed slumber, putting you at jeopardy for a number of health complications including cardiovascular issues such as heart attack and stroke

According to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), 37 million Americans snore on a consistent basis. That deafening breathing during sleep that repeatedly keeps sleep partners awake—and may even be so loud that it awakens the snorer, too—frequently is caused by sleep apnea; however, other reasons can contribute to snoring, including sleeping on your back, alcohol consumption age and gender.
