Adjusting to a CPAP machine
can be difficult, even with newer and improved versions; they may make noise or dry out your throat. However, despite these challenges, the benefits of using one to treat your sleep apnea far outweigh these annoyances. Not only does sleep apnea cause snoring and daytime fatigue, it can also increase your risk for other health problems.
Improved Sleep
If you have sleep apnea, it can disrupt your sleep. As a result you may find yourself struggling to focus during the day or feeling less energetic. Using a CPAP machine allows you to treat the apnea and get a full night of rest, meaning that you can tackle each day at your best.
Better Health
In addition to improving your immediate symptoms, treating your sleep apnea can reduce your risk for health problems in the future. Because this condition causes you to stop breathing during the night, it increases your risk for respiratory and cardiac problems. By using a CPAP machine you can reduce your risk of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, irregular heartbeats and stroke.
If you have sleep apnea, it is worth taking the time to adjust to a CPAP machine to improve your daytime energy and your overall health. Contact Medic Pharmacy & Surgical for more information on the benefits of having a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.
