Combined Therapy For Improved Sleep
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can cause you to not get enough rest at night due to the periodic pauses in your breathing throughout the night. This can not only be frustrating to you but also to your family members as well, because your apnea may also be paired with other symptoms like loud snoring or waking up in the middle of the evening. If you have tried treatment for OSA before and it did not work out well for you, we may be able to find an alternative solution or discuss combined therapy options. In today’s blog, your team at Integrative Dental Sleep Devices in Ballston Spa, NY, is here to talk about your options for sleep apnea treatments.
What Is Causing My OSA?
OSA is a disorder that causes your airways to become obstructed while you sleep, causing you to periodically stop breathing at night. Unfortunately, this disorder can be difficult to diagnose because it happens while you are asleep, so it can take you a while to notice there is a problem. There is also no single cause for the disorder, so you may not realize you are at risk of the disorder in the first place. Older men who are overweight may be at an increased risk of the condition, but anyone can have OSA.
If CPAP Machines Don’t Work For You
If you have been diagnosed with a severe snoring problem or OSA, you may have started treatment with the use of a CPAP machine. This machine can help provide continuous airflow to you as you rest, leading to fewer interruptions in the middle of the night and improved health. Although this treatment is highly effective, it may not be the most comfortable for patients. If you find CPAP to be uncomfortable or ineffective, you may be able to try alternative treatment with an oral appliance. This device keeps your airway open by holding your jaw forward. In some cases, your doctor may recommend combining both of these methods for the best results. Our team will work with you to find the most effective and comfortable treatment to meet your needs.
Benefits Of Treatments
Untreated sleep apnea can be dangerous for your health and quality of life, so prompt treatment is necessary after diagnosis. By seeking treatment for this disorder, you can sleep better in the evenings and feel refreshed when you wake up. The treatment can help improve your memory, concentration, and mood. Additionally, treating OSA can reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
