OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a problem in which your breathing pauses during sleep. This occurs because of narrowed or blocked airways.
People with sleep apnea may:
- Wake up unrefreshed in the morning
- Feel sleepy or drowsy throughout the day
- Act grumpy, impatient, or irritable
- Be forgetful
- Fall asleep while working, reading, or watching TV
- Feel sleepy while driving, or even fall asleep while driving
- Depression
- Difficult to treat high blood pressure
- Headaches, especially in the morning
Home Sleep Study
Sleep studies can determine whether a patient has sleep apnea or another form of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) by monitoring breathing, body movements and responses overnight. Sleep studies can be undertaken in the patient’s home or at a sleep clinic.

CPAP Therapy
What is CPAP?
CPAP stands for ‘continuous positive airway pressure’.
CPAP delivers a constant flow of air via a mask while you sleep, helping to keep your airway open.
CPAP Mask
The mask is connected by a hose to a small machine that sits at the side of your bed. The machine pumps air under pressure through the hose and mask and into your airway while you sleep. This helps keep your airway open. It can take some time to get used with CPAP therapy. Good follow-up and support from a good sleep centre is important.
