The benefits of CPAP Treatment

The benefits of treating sleep apnea with Positive Airway Pressure including CPAP, APAP and BiPAP for at least 4 hours per night, every night include;

  • Cessation of snoring
  • 64% reduction of fatal and non fatal cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke
  • Reduced risk of having a motor vehicle accident or work place accident
  • Reduced risk of developing many of these conditions. Treatment may help you manage these conditions more easily if you already have the condition:
    • High blood pressure
    • Type 2 diabetes
    • Heart disease
    • Artery disease
    • Irregular heart rhythms
    • Depression

Untreated sleep apnea can cause changes to your metabolism that can make losing weight more difficult. If you use your PAP regularly, these changes can be reversed over time and you may find you have more success with the weight loss methods you are trying.
 
In addition to the health benefits, other benefits may include a reduction in symptoms including;

  • Reduction in tiredness or daytime fatigue
  • Improved concentration and memory
  • Reduction of morning headaches
  • Waking up feeling more refreshed

The bed partner will also benefit with a better night’s sleep, as not only will the snoring have stopped but they will have peace of mind that their loved one is not stopping breathing during the night.
