These CPAP Alternatives Help Treat Sleep Apnea

By Sam Kappel


Below I am going to discuss several of the popular and effective CPAP alternatives. The CPAP has grown into one of the most used treatment options for sleep apnea, but they can be uncomfortable for many people. For some people the CPAP doesn't work and carries some irritating side effects. The alternatives that are out there have been shown to be comfortable, inexpensive and effective for people's sleep apnea needs.

A popular option for many people and Sleep Doctors are mouthpieces for sleep apnea and snoring. These specially designed mouth guards adjust the jaw to help prevent the tongue from slipping into the airway. They have been proven to work for many people and are growing in popularity.

Losing weight is an option that is successful for many people. Over 50% of individuals that have some sort of sleep apnea are overweight. losing weight has been proven to be a great sleep apnea remedy. This option not only helps sleep apnea, but also your overall health.

Another option is practicing special mouth exercises specifically for sleep apnea. There are certain exercises if done correctly and consistently actually have been proven to help with sleep apnea.

Another newer option is a anti snore shirt. These are special belts that help keep you from sleeping on your back. This helps keep the tissues of the mouth and tongue from blocking the airway.

Special pillows made for snoring and sleep apnea are a popular option for people. These pillows also help keep you from rolling onto your back during sleep. They are not as effective as the anti snore shirt, but they work for many people.

UPPP surgery for sleep apnea is probably one of the more expensive and risky procedures. This surgery cuts out certain tissues of the mouth and throat to widen the airway. It also helps with the tissues from blocking the airway while sleeping. There are mixed results with this procedure and it has some painful side effects.

The seventh CPAP alternative is playing the Didgeridoo. What is the Didgeridoo? It is an ancient Australian instrument that has gained popularity as being an effect treatment for sleep apnea. There are simple ways to play it that are known to help treat sleep apnea for many people.

These are some of the effective, inexpensive and comfortable CPAP alternatives. Each one of these options depends on the person. They may work for people and some may not for others. When picking out an alternative treatment to sleep apnea make sure it is comfortable and works for you.
