CPAP not working?
You’re not alone. Approximately 83% of CPAP patients quit or are inconsistent in their therapy.
When a patient cannot tolerate CPAP, they neglect to use it. This non-compliance is referred to as CPAP intolerance or CPAP failure.
CPAP failure is often caused by issues outside of your control:
-
Seasonal allergies or ongoing congestion
-
Nasal, sinus or upper palate issues (such as a deviated septum)
-
Skin irritation on face
-
Nasal irritation, dryness or bleeding
-
Claustrophobia or sensation of suffocation
-
Respiratory infections
-
Abdominal bloating & gas
-
Machine disturbs sleep (or partner’s sleep)
These and other issues make CPAP failure common for many obstructive sleep apnea sufferers.
Get Your Energy Back With Sleep Apnea Treatment
Fortunately, sleep apnea responds well to treatment. Patients can wear a custom-designed oral appliance that is similar to wearing a mouthguard or a night splint. The appliance keeps your jaw or tongue forward, which moves the soft tissues away from the airway opening. This eliminates the obstruction that causes the apneic episodes. Your sleep will no longer be disrupted, and you won’t suffer the health effects of insufficient oxygen levels.
To eliminate excess fatigue during the day, visit our office for a sleep apnea evaluation and to get treatment. Your quality of life and your health will both improve.
