If lifestyle changes such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol, exercising, or sleeping on your side do not alleviate your symptoms of sleep apnea, see our expert in sleep apnea machine in Northridge about the best treatment for you. Mild cases of sleep apnea may only need to be treated with a mouth guard, but more serious cases may require a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). This machine fits a mask over your nose and blows air through your airways, allowing you to breathe easier.
If you have trouble adjusting to wearing a mask while you sleep, just stay focused on all the health benefits you are getting from the machine. You will no longer feel fatigued during the day, you will have fewer headaches, and your risk of developing cardiovascular problems will decrease significantly.
And your bed partner will thank you for using CPAP. The most common symptom of sleep apnea is loud, chronic snoring. You may not be aware that you are snoring, but your partner sure is. Think of the treatment is a gift to them, and you will sleep soundly with no problems.
If you have any problems with CPAP or if you need a readjustment to your mask, talk to our Northridge sleep apnea expert.
