No. Snoring is a common symptom of Sleep Apnea, but not everyone who snores has Sleep Apnea.
How is Sleep Apnea diagnosed?
Sleep Apnea is typically evaluated through a Sleep Study, such as Polysomnography or an appropriate home sleep apnea test, depending on the individual situation.
How does CPAP work?
CPAP delivers continuous positive airway pressure through a mask to help keep the airway open during sleep.
Can CPAP cause a dry nose or dry mouth?
Yes. Some users may experience dryness due to factors such as air leakage, mouth breathing or insufficient humidification. Proper mask fitting and humidification may help.
What should I do if CPAP feels uncomfortable?
Do not stop therapy without professional advice. Mask fit, pressure settings, humidification and other factors may need to be reviewed by your healthcare provider or qualified support team.
Is BiPAP the same as CPAP?
No. Both are forms of Positive Airway Pressure therapy, but BiPAP can provide different pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation.
Can Sleep Apnea be treated?
Yes. Treatment depends on the type and severity of Sleep Apnea and may include PAP therapy, oral appliances, lifestyle changes, positional therapy or other medical treatments.
