Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. It can lead to daytime fatigue, heart problems, and poor overall health if untreated.

BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) provides different pressures for inhaling and exhaling, making it suitable for people with complex breathing disorders.

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine delivers steady airflow to keep airways open during sleep, helping reduce apnea events.

Home sleep testing is convenient, cost-effective, and reliable for most patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea, though complex cases may require in-lab studies.

Pressure adjustments are done through pressure titration studies, either at home or in our sleep lab, ensuring optimal therapy and comfort.

Yes, untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and daytime fatigue, affecting quality of life.

1. Many patients experience improved sleep quality and energy within a few days, but consistent use is important for long-term benefits.

There are three main types: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), and Complex Sleep Apnea. OSA is the most common, caused by blocked airways.

Symptoms include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and restless sleep.

Diagnosis is made through in-lab sleep studies or home sleep tests, which monitor breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and sleep stages.
