Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that is characterized by loud snoring, choking or gasping for air during the night, and excessive daytime sleepiness.

There are several options when considering sleep apnea treatment available to people who want to solve their sleep disordered breathing problems. They range from simple lifestyle changes to non-invasive medical devices to invasive surgical procedures.

Sleepwell Solutions in Dallas offers a range of apnea  treatments for your consideration.  Except for surgery, treatment involves action every night on your part. You must use a medical device each and every time you sleep to treat your sleep apnea. Therefore, it’s important that you choose a treatment option that fits into your lifestyle.

Oral appliances and CPAP are non-invasive treatment options for snoring and related respiratory problems.  A non-invasive solution is one that does not involve surgery or inserting foreign objects into your body. You are in control of your treatment at all times when you use an oral appliance or CPAP. Both treatments are reversible and you can remove the device at any time if there is a problem. Surgical treatments for sleep apnea are invasive and are not reversible, but you'll need to speak with your doctor about the best course of treatment for you.

If you do not wear your oral appliance or CPAP, you will continue to have symptoms of snoring and sleep apnea. Studies have shown that both of these therapies can work extremely well. The catch is that you have to use your chosen device regularly to get relief from sleep apnea. The therapy you choose will only be effective if you follow the doctor’s treatment orders and sleep with your oral appliance or CPAP.

Do you travel a lot? Would the sound of a CPAP machine disturb your sleep mate? Do you suffer from claustrophobia? Do you get your hair styled every week?

CPAP machines are typically size of a shoebox and need electricity. Once it is turned on, the machine makes noise as it blows air to help you breathe as on sleep apnea treatment. It requires you to wear a mask over your nose and/or mouth. A hose connects the mask to the CPAP machine.

Oral appliances are also offered at Sleepwell Solutions in Dallas as a treatment for snoring.
An oral appliance is hidden in your mouth, so it is more discrete than a CPAP machine and mask. Unlike CPAP, an oral appliance does not make any sound while in your mouth. Oral appliances are small and can easily fit into your pocket, briefcase or purse.  It is often considered first as an inexpensive and convenient sleep apnea treatment, especially for patients in Dallas, where snoring is often caused by dried sinuses. 

These examples are just a few lifestyle issues to consider when you choose a therapy.  Any sleep apnea treatmet you decide upon is better than inaction.  Sleep apnea has been shown to cause serious health problems and even death in Dallas residents and people all around the world.  Apnea is a serious condition that must be treated with a  serious attitude and treatment regimen.

Do professional associations recommend this treatment?
There are many products and treatments that claim they get rid of sleep apnea. One way to know whether your treatment of choice is a “good” choice is to find out what a scientific or professional group recommends.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) is a professional group of clinicians involved in the treatment of respiratory afflications in sleep.  They have an advisory board that reviews the science and success of different treatment options.
