CPAP Machine Side Effects: How to Avoid Them and Sleep Better
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the upper airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing breathing difficulties and sleep disruptions. A common and effective way to treat OSA is by using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device. A CPAP device consists of a small machine that delivers a steady stream of air through a hose and a mask that covers the nose or mouth. The air pressure keeps the airway open and allows the patient to breathe normally throughout the night. There are different types of CPAP masks available, depending on the patient's comfort, preference, and facial structure. Some Potential Side Effects of CPAP Devices and How to Manage Them.
