Comfortably Treat Sleep Apnea with These CPAP Alternatives

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.

Sleep apnea mouthpieces are one of the alternative treatments that can be used. They specially designed to help comfortably treat snoring and sleep apnea. They have become a popular option for many people and are relatively inexpensive.

Weight loss is one of the best treatment alternatives to CPAP. More than 50% of individuals that have sleep apnea are obese and overweight. This treatment option is also great for overall health.

Practicing special mouth, throat and tongue exercises for sleep apnea works well for many people. Like any exercise, if done consistently, they have shown great results with a lot of cases.

The fourth alternative is anti snore shirts or bumper belts. These shirts are designed to keep you sleeping on your side all night. This helps with the obstruction of the airway that causes sleep apnea and snoring. It simply keeps the tissues and tongue from falling into the throat by keeping you on your side.

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.

Surgery for sleep apnea and snoring is another option people take. The procedure is called UPPP. It removes tissues of the mouth and throat. This helps open up the airway and keep the tissues from blocking the airway. This is probably one of the more expensive and risky options. It works for a lot of people, but has been shown to not work for some. There are some bad side effects that can come with it as well.

Another alternative to the CPAP is playing the Australian Didgeridoo. This is an ancient Australian musical instrument that has grown in popularity for treating sleep apnea. There is a simple and special way to play this instrument that has been shown to work. These instruments can be found for as little as ten dollars and are simple to play.

When it comes to choosing a CPAP alternative make sure to find one that is comfortable and works well for you. Each one is unique and may not work for everyone.
