What is CPAP Therapy?

CPAP therapy is the gold standard treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). Left untreated, OSA prevents you from getting a good night’s sleep – when breathing is paused, you’re jolted out of your natural sleep rhythm. But with treatment, you can control the symptoms, get your sleep back on track, and start enjoying what it’s like to be refreshed and alert every day.

CPAPCARE is one of Australia’s most established and trusted CPAP technology specialists, and we’re here to answer all your questions, provide ongoing support and help you achieve deep and restorative sleep.

OSA is a serious health condition and in some cases can be life-threatening. It causes sleep and oxygen deprivation and, if left untreated, may contribute to high blood pressure, increased risk of stroke, heart disease and heart attack.

Accurate diagnosis of sleep apnoea is vital, and begins with a visit to your GP, followed by a referral to a Sleep Physician for a hospital or home-based sleep study. Once you have a CPAP prescription or recommendation from your doctor, you are ready to begin your CPAP therapy.

CPAP therapy can give you more energy, lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of serious health problems. Most people experience immediate symptom relief and a huge boost in mental and physical energy.

Partners, friends and family members are often the first to notice the signs of sleep apnoea. If someone you know snores regularly and has any of the following symptoms, they might benefit from CPAP Therapy:

• Daytime sleepiness
• Loud or disruptive snoring
• Gasping and choking during sleep
• Longer than normal breathing pauses
• Waking suddenly
• Frequent night-time urination

Successful CPAP therapy can be life changing, but it can take time to get it right. Let our friendly and experienced staff find a solution that works for you.
