- Men are twice as likely as women to suffer from sleep apnea.
- About 2% of adult women and 4% of adult men have been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
- When a close family member has sleep apnea, the risk of developing the condition is higher.
- 50% of patients treated for sleep apnea are overweight or obese.
Obesity is not the only cause behind obstructive sleep apnea as there are many other factors that can contribute such as:
- Facial and neck structure (morphology)
- Nasal obstruction
- Respiratory allergies
- Age
- Gender
- Family genetics
- Lifestyle and habits
- Sleep apnea is more common in people with short, wide necks
People suffering from sleep apnea do not always know and most of the time, it's the partner that will be the first to notice the signs of snoring and sleep apnea. You should speak to a doctor when:
- Snoring disrupts your sleep and/or your partner’s sleep.
- Snoring often wakes you up at night.
- Your partner notices you are having respiratory problems.
- Your partner says you stop breathing at night.
- You feel tired in the morning and sleepy during the day
- If you are overweight, lose weight
- Sleep on your side
- Raise the head of your bed
- Nasal strips or an external nasal dilator
- Treat nasal congestion or obstruction
- Limit or avoid alcohol and sedatives
- Stop smoking
- Get enough sleep
- Go to bed before your snoring partner.
- Sew a tennis ball into the back of the snorer's pajamas.
- Try using a white noise machine.
- Buy him an anti-snoring pillow.
- Wear earplugs.
Here's what you can do until you see a doctor:
- Sleep on your side, not your back.
- Raise the head of your bed about 4 inches.
- Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages for at least 4 hours before bedtime.
- Avoid eating heavy meals and snacks for at least 3 hours before bedtime
- Adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes exercise to build muscle tone.
- Lose weight (a few pounds can make a difference)
- Establish a regular sleep routine; go to bed and wake up at the same time each day
Sleep loss associated with snoring impairs a person's ability to perform tasks involving memory, learning, reasoning, and mathematical processes.
Symptoms caused by snoring:
- Morning headaches
- Irritability and burnout
- Poor memory and concentration
- Sleep debt
- Dry mouth
- Depression
- Poor performance at work
Sometimes snoring can be treated by lifestyle changes, but when that doesn't work, medical evaluation is necessary. There are many non-surgical and surgical treatments for snoring today, depending on the diagnosis.
Lifestyle changes include:
- Weight loss Quitting smoking
- Reducing alcohol, sedatives, and sedating antihistamines
Medical treatments include:
- Opening nasal passages Identifying and avoiding allergens
- Treatment of nasal allergies
- Treatment of nasal polyps
- Treatment of deviated septum
- Treatment of chronic sinusitis
There are three types of sleep apnea:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): Related to upper airway obstruction, this is the most common type as well as the most severe. The soft tissue in the roof of the mouth, throat or tongue can block airflow as a person struggles to breathe.
Central sleep apnea: A rare form caused by a problem with the central nervous system, in which the respiratory center of the brain responsible for breathing fails.
Mixed apnea: A combination of obstructive and central apnea, many researchers believe it is also the most common. This is because a person with obstructive apnea often tends to breathe rapidly when recovering from an obstructive apnea episode, which lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, which can trigger a central apnea episode.
Sinusitis, or sinus infection, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages characterized by a headache or pressure in the eyes, nose, cheek area or side of the head. Patients with a sinus infection may also have a cough, fever, bad breath and nasal congestion with nasal discharge.
Sinus infections are distinguished by their duration and location:
Acute sinus infection: When one or more of the sinuses are infected in the short term, it is called acute sinusitis. In otolaryngology medicine, acute refers to an abrupt onset of infection that can last from three weeks to three months. Acute sinusitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection that may eventually clear up without medical supervision.
Chronic Sinus Infection: When a sinus infection lasts longer than three months, it is considered chronic and is often caused by allergies or a physical abnormality such as a deviated septum or a bone defect. The symptoms of a chronic sinus infection may be less severe than an acute infection, but a chronic infection can last for years.
Snoring occurs when the airway or passageway through which we breathe is partially blocked or obstructed. The narrowing of the airway thus induces vibrations of the soft palate and snoring ensues.
In many situations, this compromise is minor and the body continues to receive sufficient amounts of oxygen to cause little or no damage. However, it is a red flag because it could also be one of the warning signs or part of sleep apnea. Most people with sleep apnea snore between episodes of apnea or oxygen interruption. A sleep study should be done to determine the severity of the person's condition.
Common side effects of patients with sleep apnea include
- heart attacks or irregular heartbeats
- impotence
- high blood pressure
- stroke
- heartburn
- morning headaches
- dry mouth
- gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- reduced concentration
- depression
- decreased libido
- irritability
- and the obvious one, chronic sleepiness.
- Snoring
- Overweight
- High blood pressure
- Acid reflux
- Physical abnormality in the nose (deviated septum), throat or upper airway, including small airways or large tonsils, uvula or tongue
- Neck size (usually 17" or more in men or 16" in women)
- Genetics

This is a tough question, because it truly varies on an individual basis. There are traditional nasal masks, alternative nasal masks, full face masks, nasal interface systems, and oral masks. Each of these masks has benefits and drawbacks, and may work for some and not for others. If this is your first mask purchase or you are unhappy with your current mask type, please give us a call at 866-476-4821. and we will be happy to give you suggestions based on your individual needs.
Heated or passover humidification can definitely increase your comfort while completing your therapy. Humidification adds moisture to the air being blown into your airway, and without it, many patients find that they have significant drying out of their nostrils, mouths, and throats.
Auto-titrating CPAPs are machines that automatically adjust your pressure throughout the night to ensure that at all times you are receiving the exact pressure necessary to keep your airway open. Because of this, you do not need to have another sleep study done every time your prescription pressure does not seem to be working for you.
CPAP is the acronym for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP machines provide a constant flow of air at a set pressure into the airway to ensure that the airway stays open through the night.
If a patient is a mouth breather and uses a nasal mask, the treatment will be ineffective. Full face masks allow the patient to breath from the nose or the mouth.
