What CPAP mask?
CPAP masks come in various styles, including nasal masks, nasal pillows, and full-face masks. The choice of mask depends on individual preference, comfort, and the type of breathing pattern. Nasal masks cover the nose, nasal pillows fit into the nostrils, and full-face masks cover both the nose and mouth.

Do I need CPAP therapy?
If you experience symptoms of sleep apnea such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, or witnessed pauses in breathing during sleep, you should undergo a sleep study (polysomnography) to determine the severity of your condition and whether CPAP therapy is necessary.

What is CPAP therapy?
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy involves using a machine that delivers a constant flow of air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep, preventing episodes of obstruction and allowing for uninterrupted breathing.

Tips Tuesday 💡

Gradual Acclimatization:
If you're new to CPAP therapy, ease into it by wearing your mask for short periods during the day while you're awake. This helps your body get used to the sensation of wearing the mask and breathing with the airflow.

Comfort is Key:
Ensure that the CPAP mask fits comfortably and doesn't cause irritation. Experiment with different mask styles and sizes to find the one that suits you best.
