Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea. This non-invasive therapy uses a CPAP machine to deliver a steady stream of air through a mask, keeping your airway open during sleep. By preventing airway blockages, CPAP therapy reduces snoring, improves sleep quality, and promotes overall health, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown, a triple-board-certified sleep medicine physician, specializes in prescribing and managing CPAP therapy. Her personalized approach ensures patients achieve better sleep and improved overall health.

Who Can Benefit From CPAP Therapy?

CPAP therapy is ideal for individuals diagnosed with:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Repeated pauses in breathing due to airway obstruction during sleep.

• Snoring and Breathing Issues: Persistent snoring and poor airflow during sleep caused by soft tissue collapse in the throat.

If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue.

How Does CPAP Therapy Work?

The CPAP device includes a mask connected to a machine that delivers air pressure to keep your airway open. Here’s how it works:

• Initial Setup: Dr. Brown helps determine the best mask type (nasal, full-face, or nasal pillows) for your comfort and needs.

• Air Pressure Adjustment: The machine is calibrated to provide the optimal level of air pressure based on your diagnosis and sleep study results.

• Consistent Use: Regular nightly use is essential for maximizing the benefits of CPAP therapy.

• Monitoring and Support: Dr. Brown offers ongoing monitoring to ensure your device is effective and comfortable. Adjustments are made as needed.

CPAP therapy provides numerous advantages, including:

• Improved Sleep Quality: Reduced interruptions and deeper, more restorative sleep.
