Doctors explain that it usually occurs due to a blocked airway (obstructive sleep apnea) or because the brain fails to regulate breathing properly (central sleep apnea).<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Each pause in breathing lowers oxygen levels, triggering a survival reflex that briefly wakes you up to restart breathing. While this reflex keeps you alive, it fragments sleep \u2014 often leading to insomnia, fatigue, and other health concerns.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">If left untreated, sleep apnea can also place stress on the heart, increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications. Studies suggest that nearly 1 billion people worldwide, aged 30\u201369 years, live with obstructive sleep apnea.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><em>Loud snoring<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><em>Pauses in breathing while asleep<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><em>Waking up gasping or breathless<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><em>Disturbed sleep or frequent waking<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><em>Daytime sleepiness and fatigue<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><em>Morning headaches<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\"><em>Night sweats<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><em>Mood changes or irritability<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/152534920-2025-08-e46dac0e1afa30a5da3bf111bb8fb4b4.webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\"><strong>What is a CPAP Machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\">A CPAP machine is one of the most effective treatments for sleep apnea. It delivers a steady flow of pressurised air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth, ensuring the airway remains open throughout the night.<\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\"><strong>Most CPAP devices include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\"><em>A mask (covering nose or nose and mouth)<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"19\" class=\"story_para_19\"><em>Straps to secure the mask<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"20\" class=\"story_para_20\"><em>A tube connecting the mask to the motor<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"21\" class=\"story_para_21\"><em>A motor that blows filtered, pressurised air<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"22\" class=\"story_para_22\">There are different types of PAP devices:<\/p>\n<p id=\"23\" class=\"story_para_23\"><em>Auto CPAP: Automatically adjusts pressure as needed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"24\" class=\"story_para_24\"><em>Bi-level PAP: Uses higher pressure when inhaling and lower pressure while exhaling.<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"25\" class=\"story_para_25\"><em>Auto-bilevel PAP: Self-adjusts both inhalation and exhalation pressures.<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"26\" class=\"story_para_26\"><strong>How Does CPAP Help?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"27\" class=\"story_para_27\">By keeping the airway open, the CPAP prevents the tongue and soft tissues of the throat from collapsing and blocking airflow. This leads to better oxygen supply, uninterrupted sleep cycles, and improved overall health.<\/p>\n<p id=\"28\" class=\"story_para_28\">Doctors emphasise that the device must be used every time you sleep, including naps, to be effective. Regular cleaning of the mask and tubing, along with timely replacements, is also essential for hygiene and efficiency.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/swati-chaturvedi-2023-11-311a7f6229417d5d5693180448c9311a-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/swati-chaturvedi-22519.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Swati Chaturvedi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swati Chaturvedi, a seasoned media and journalism aficionado with over 10 years of expertise, is not just a storyteller; she&#8217;s a weaver of wit and wisdom in the digital landscape.
