In patients with high-risk obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves cardiovascular outcomes.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when muscles in your throat relax and repeatedly block your airway, causing you to stop breathing as you sleep.

Just 15 minutes of the practice five days a week led to fewer breathing episodes during the night, a study says.

Blowing a conch shell improved moderate obstructive sleep apnea symptoms in a small randomized trial. The forceful breathing ...

“Our findings suggest that CPAP may offer long-term cardiovascular benefit in people with high-risk obstructive sleep apnea, ...

Although CPAP machines are the most common treatments for sleep apnea, some people dislike them, find them cumbersome or uncomfortable, or are unable to sleep well while using the apparatus.

CPAP is the most common treatment for sleep apnea because it’s highly efficacious—so in other words, if you wear it, almost always it’s going to eliminate obstructive sleep apnea.

CPAP has “been the gold standard treatment for the condition since the early 1980s,” says neurologist and sleep physician Brandon R. Peters MD, author of The Sleep Apnea Hypothesis.
