Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious health concern. Not only does it lead to you feeling drowsy in the day, but it also can cause a significant decline in memory and mood. People who suffer from chronic sleep apnea are also at a higher risk for having a stroke or heart attack. Think about how great of an importance is put on breathing in practices like yoga and archery, and it’s easy to understand just how easy sleep apnea — where breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night — can damage your health. Sleep apnea can be treated, however. On this page, Integra Health’s sleep department offers you realistic, effective solutions for treating sleep apnea without the need of a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.
The normal way to treat sleep apnea is with a CPAP machine. However, no one wants to be hooked up to tubes and wearing a respirator in bed. As an alternative, Integra Health can address your sleep apnea with an implanted device that works by a handheld remote to keep you breathing while you sleep. The device is called “Inspire;” it is the only FDA-approved obstructive sleep apnea treatment that works inside your body, treating the root cause of obstructive sleep apnea with the click of a button.

Central Sleep Apnea

Complex Sleep Apnea
Some combination of the other types of sleep apnea.
If you or your partner has any of the following symptoms, it might be worthwhile to talk to your doctor about getting whether or not you have sleep apnea and what you can do to improve it:
All these are signs that, at the very least, you should talk to a doctor about the signs and if a CPAP or other sleep apnea system will be right for you (such as the Inspire).
