What is CPAP? CPAP or also known as (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is the most common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This CPAP machine sends a constant flow of airway pressure to your throat to ensure that your airway stays open during sleep, effectively treating the spontaneous pauses in breath. A CPAP machine uses a hose and mask or nosepiece to deliver constant and steady air pressure.
CPAP treatment can help protect you from these serious health risks:
Alongside treating your sleep apnea you get the benefit of decrease heart disease. People with untreated sleep apnea have a higher rate of death from heart disease than those without sleep apnea or with treated sleep apnea. Continuous use of CPAP greatly reduce the risk of inhibiting these heart diseases:
Just like heart disease, if you do consistent CPAP therapy you can reduce your risk of stroke, one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability. A stroke is a sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain. People with untreated sleep apnea are two to four times more likely to have a stroke.
This is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose or blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Using CPAP to treat your sleep apnea can improve insulin sensitivity. Sleep apnea is related to glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, both factors in type 2 diabetes. Untreated sleep apnea increases your risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
