-Global pandemic
-Short staff

-Recall
Many of you are concerned about the recall. We would like to clarify that NOT all CPAP and BiPap machine BRANDS are subject to recall.

Snoring vs. Sleep Apnea

SNORING: According to Mayo Clinic, snoring is produced by the loosened tissues of your mouth and throat fluttering and vibrating as you inhale air. It can be exacerbated by a variety of reasons, including:
•Airway anatomy
•Overweight or Obese
•Allergies or chronic nasal congestion.
• Sleep position (sleeping on the back)

SLEEP APNEA: The big difference between OSA and snoring is that with OSA, the airway becomes blocked to such a degree that oxygen levels in the body decline, causing arousal or awakening from sleep. Indications that your snoring is sleep apnea are:
• someone notices pauses in your breath at night
•daytime fatigue/sleepiness
•waking up gasping or choking.

Is your snoring normal or is it sleep apnea? As always if you feel you could be suffering from sleep apnea consult your Family Physician.
