Benefits of CPAP Therapy

CPAP Therapy, used as prescribed, can alleviate the symptoms of OSA (see ‘About OSA’). Correctly used, CPAP therapy will also minimise the serious health risks associated with OSA. CPAP Therapy is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment.

The benefits of CPAP Therapy may include:

·         Lower blood pressure
·         Decreased risk of heart attacks and strokes
·         Decreased risk of heart disease
·         Lower risk of driving/work-related accidents
·         Resolution of daytime sleepiness
·         Fewer morning headaches
·         Reduced irritability & depression
·         Increased energy & alertness
·         Increased libido
·         Improved vitality & wellbeing
·         Ability to monitor ongoing therapy results

Important: CPAP Therapy is a treatment for OSA, not a cure. To maintain the benefits of  CPAP Therapy, it must be used every night as prescribed, even when travelling.

Should your therapy be discontinued, symptoms and health risks associated with OSA will return.
