Sleep apnea cures

So you know that you are suffering from sleep apnea. So what are the cures?

There are 3 sleep apnea cures, namely natural cures, surgical treatments, and therapeutic or non-invasive interventions.

Natural sleep apnea cures include

(For mild sleep apnea cases, using natural sleep apnea cures should do the 'magic'. Some of the natural sleep apnea cures include:
Minimal alcohol intake, tranquilizers or antihistamines; Ensure treatment for colds, allergies or sinus problems; Sleep regularly – ensure that you get enough sleep; Gargle salt water to shrink your tonsils; Sleep on your side rather than on your back; Stop smoking or exposing yourself to dust or perfumes; Use air humidifiers; Prevent mucus-producing foods, such as bananas and dairy products, for two weeks. You can eat them again after 2 weeks to determine if there are any differences.

Small devices are available to cure sleep apnea. These are inserted into the mouth to keep the passage airway open while sleeping by bringing the jaw forward or by preventing the soft tissues from blocking the airway.

CPAP and BiPAP machines

Using natural sleep apnea cures do not help for moderate to severe sleep apnea cases. For such cases, sleep apnea doctors will recommend CPAP to prevent sleep apnea or even sleep apnea death!

For moderate to severe sleep apnea cases, using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine is necessary. It blows air into the nose through a mask and tube. The passage airway is kept open by the supply of constant air pressure.

Another equipment, Bi Level machine(Bi-PAP), is prescribed for treating severe sleep apnea cases. It does the same functions as CPAP machines but with two different air pressures. It helps the patient to breathe in and out properly.

Sleep apnea death - Sleep apnea death is closely linked with obesity, high blood pressure..
