Overview

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. It’s estimated that more than 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and it can have serious health implications, such as high blood pressure, daytime sleepiness, heart arrhythmias, and stroke. To treat sleep apnea, a device called a Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) machine is often prescribed. CPAP machines use mild air pressure to keep the airway open during sleep, helping people with sleep apnea breathe easier at night and improve their overall sleep quality. CPAP machines are an effective treatment for sleep apnea, and they can help reduce the risk of related health complications.
