Sleep apnea and snoring
When you fall asleep, your muscles relax. This can cause the soft tissue of the upper airway to collapse obstructing or partially obstructing the airway causing obstructive sleep apnea or snoring.
Good sleep matters!
Sleep apnea and even snoring prevents or at least interrupts deep sleep. Without spending enough time in deep sleep, you cannot rest properly, will awake being tired and probably experience sleepiness during the day. Falling asleep while driving due to sleepiness is a very high risk.
Why do I Snore?
As the upper airway muscles relax ,with the airflow passing through a narrow passage, the surrounding tissue trembles and a snoring sound appears.
What is the danger of Sleep Apnea and Snoring?
Decreased sleep quality associated with an obstructed airway with snoring and apneas leads to insufficient or interrupted inhalation causing oxygen level in the blood to fall. This can be dangerous and put stress on your body and organs with several risks to your health.
Snoring is often accompanied by sleep apnea syndrome. This may also increase the risk of complications such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases, traffic accidents and even sudden death at night. Examples of some other effects are increased likelihood of obesity and difficulty to loose weight, long term memory issues, headache and lower immunity. Sleep deprived partners are a common occurrence damaging relationships.
How do I prevent Sleep Apnea & Snoring?
A CPAP machine delivers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure to your airway by way of a flexible pipe and mask. Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) pushes against the soft tissue to keep the airway open to allow continued normal breathing while you sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
The signs and symptoms of obstructive (OSA) and central sleep apneas (CSA) overlap, sometimes making it difficult to determine which type you have. The most common signs and symptoms of obstructive and central sleep apneas include:
– Episodes in which you stop breathing during sleep — which would usually be reported by another person
– Gasping for air during sleep
– Awakening with a dry mouth
– Morning headache
– Difficulty staying asleep (insomnia)
– Excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia)
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) remains the gold standard treatment option for sleep apnea.
As you sleep an auto pressure CPAP machine (also referred to as APAP) provides air at a pressure just high enough to prevent the collapse of your airway. Constant pressure CPAP machines need to be preset at the correct pressure just above the minimum level required.
The pressurized air is provided through a mask that seals over your mouth or nose. This allows you to breathe without effort and enables you to sleep without gasping for air or waking up. The CPAP machine doesn’t provide oxygen as such. You do however get more oxygen by freely breathing in and out normally on your own.
Apnea machines are used to control the air pressure in the airways of a patient, thereby keeping airways open to ensure uninterrupted sleep.
Apnea machines can be broadly categorized into three types: CPAP, APAP, BiPAP machines. Each type controls airflow in a different way.
A CPAP machine continuously blows air at a set constant air pressure while a patient is sleeping.
An APAP machine automatically adjusts the pressure to the lowest value required based on a breath by breath based measurement. It provides a report of the required pressures for 1 day up to 365 day which can be used to set the machine for best possible individual treatment.
