Welcome to sleep apnea treatment center in Vancouver and Richmond BC
Do you snore? Are you tired in the daytime?
Does your bed partner notice you stop breathing in your sleep?
The good news is that there is a very common and effective treatment known as
CPAP. CPAP, also know as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, is a small bedside
air pump that attaches to a hose and nasal mask worn by the user at night. The
CPAP machine provides a steady flow of pressurized air to prevent a person’s
throat from collapsing and waking them in the middle of the night. Thus, a
person is able to sleep throughout the night without awakening and feels rested
in the morning. The CPAP keeps blood oxygen levels normal and helps reduce the
risk of sleep related hypertension and heart disease.
