CPAP Therapy for Sleep Apnea in San Tan, Arizona
If you struggle with breathing while sleeping, CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) therapy may help. This device keeps your airway open, ensuring proper oxygen intake throughout the night, even for those with sleep apnea.
What Is a CPAP Machine?
CPAP machines treat obstructive and central sleep apnea by delivering pressurized air through a mask that covers your nose, mouth, or uses nasal prongs. Choosing the right mask—such as nasal pillows or full masks—is key to comfort and effective therapy.
Common CPAP Issues
Some users experience dry nose, sore throat, mask irritation, or bloating. Adjusting air pressure, trying a humidifier, or switching masks can improve comfort.
Alternative Air Pressure Machines
-
BIPAP: Different pressures for inhaling and exhaling for easier breathing.
-
APAP: Auto-adjusts pressure throughout the night for a personalized fit.
Proper Adjustment Matters
Pressure settings are individualized, typically ranging 6–15 cmH2O. Correct use reduces risks of heart disease, stroke, and daytime fatigue.
