apnea treatment

Apnea treatment involves identifying and managing the underlying causes of interrupted breathing during sleep. Common approaches include lifestyle changes like losing weight, quitting smoking, and sleeping on one's side. Medical devices such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines deliver steady air to keep airways open. In some cases, oral appliances or surgery may be recommended to remove obstructions or correct anatomical issues. The goal is to restore normal breathing patterns, improve sleep quality, and reduce health risks associated with apnea, such as heart problems. Treatment plans are personalized by healthcare providers based on the severity and type of apnea.
