Title: Options of Best "CPAP for Central Sleep Apnea" Central sleep apnea is characterized by disordered breathing during sleep associated with absent or diminished respiratory effort. Major symptoms of this disease include frequent awakenings at night, excessive sleepiness during the day or both. Central sleep apnea is basically a kind of communication problem and is less common in comparison to obstructive sleep apnea which is basically a mechanical issue. CPAP or central positive airway therapy helps in improving cardiac function in people suffering from central sleep apnea. CPAP is one of the best treatment options for central sleep apnea.…
These abrupt occurrences prevent oxygen from reaching the brain and body. There are several types of sleep apnea, but the most common one is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This describes when the tissues in the pharynx block the air passages, while the…

[2] Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment is one of the most chosen treatment by patients with OSA because it is the most effective and simple to use treatment with low risks. CPAP improves some symptoms of OSA like reducing daytime sleepiness and bettering the quality of life. [3] The interruption of long-term treatment show negative consequences in improvements.…

causes fatigue, which increases the possibility for vehicle accidents. Obstructive sleep apnea affects more than half the NYPD. Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic disease that can be treated, with the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine (Hoffstein et at., 1992). Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea proves useful. However, treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is unclear (Hoffstein et at., 1992).…
Narcolepsy Marilyn Monroe once said, “The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.” There are many different sleeping disorders, especially in this stressful life, where people do not get enough sleep every day.

Narcolepsy is a disease that affects the Central Nervous System with many symptoms that differ between each person with no cure that has been found. Narcolepsy has become known as a sleep disorder although it affects each person through the wakeful hours of the day. Symptoms that affect people with narcolepsy are excessive daytime sleepiness, disrupted night time sleep and when those affected fall asleep during the day, they experience sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations. Not every person who is diagnosed with narcolepsy experiences it with cataplexy. Cataplexy is a loss of skeletal muscle tone that causes people to lose function and can cause dangerous situations.…

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a condition where respiration stops for an extended period of time during sleep. This is generally caused by excessive relaxation of the soft tissues of the oropharynx and muscles of facial expression and mastication obstructing the airway. It has been theorized that the potentially life threatening Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), directly and indirectly influences Periodontal disease. Literature Review Signs and symptoms of OSAS consist of snoring, abrupt awakening from sleep, apneic periods witnessed by a sleep partner, dry mouth, sore throat, and excessive daytime sleepiness.…
