Do I Need a Sleep Apnea Device?

It is always a bit of a shock when someone finds out that they have sleep apnea, or some form of sleep-disordered breathing. They have probably been told throughout their entire life that they snore a lot, or make loud snorting noises when they are asleep, but finding out that they have a disorder can be frightening.

Many doctors, upon diagnosing sleep apnea, will recommend a type of sleep apnea device for their patients. This device is a mask that straps onto the head and covers the nose and mouth. It essentially forces air into the body to prevent the disordered breathing.

But, a sleep apnea device doesn’t always work, and it is not without its own set of side effects. Many people who use this find that they have to sit up when they sleep, to prevent the mask from getting tangled around them or sliding off during sleep. The air that is brought through the mask is also prone to making a person’s sinus passages dry and congested.

A sleep apnea device may not be the best treatment for you, and it is good to know that there are many other ways to deal with this type of diagnosis. For many people, simple changes in lifestyle can make all the difference. One of the biggest predictors of disordered breathing is alcohol use. If you drink more than just a few drinks at night, this can be contributing to the problems you are having while you are sleeping.

In addition, just by adjusting the way in which you sleep, you might be able to get an easier and more steady air flow into your lungs. By sleeping on your side, instead of on your back, you will get more air and be less likely to stop breathing – and this will reduce your snoring as well.
