Sove CPAP Clinics in Melbourne

Sleep plays a vital role in your overall health and well-being, and sleep disorders such as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and insomnia can prevent restful sleep. OSA has been associated with an increased risk of chronic health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke.

In Melbourne, Victoria, we are conveniently located in Berwick, Bendigo, Box Hill, Brighton, Frankston, Ringwood East, and Wheelers Hill, providing affordable sleep studies, as well as CPAP machines and accessories for treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)? What Are the Symptoms?

OSA is a medical condition where the airway collapses during sleep, causing partial of complete cessation of breathing. With each apnoea, there is a temporary blockage of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in brief interruptions in breathing. This can happen a few or several hundred times a night.

Based on the frequency of these interruptions:

Normal sleep: fewer than 5 interruptions per hour of sleep
Mild sleep apnoea: between 5 and 15 interruptions per hour of sleep
Moderate sleep apnoea: between 15 and 30 interruptions per hour of sleep
Severe sleep apnoea: more than 30 interruptions per hour of sleep

Sleep apnoea symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, dry mouth and headaches on waking, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue.

Who gets OSA?

Anyone can get OSA. Approximately 5% of all Australians suffer from this condition. The risk factors rise as we age, and OSA is 3 times more common in men than in women. Being overweight also increases the risk of OSA.

The Risks of OSA

OSA doesn't just rob you of sleep; it can lead to serious health complications, including heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even daytime fatigue, which can result in accidents.

What Can I Do About OSA?

Experiencing persistent sleep issues? Speak with your doctor and consider booking in for a sleep study to uncover the cause and take the first step towards restful nights.

If a diagnosis of OSA is confirmed, there are several treatments available, with CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines being among the most accepted and effective treatment available.

CPAP Machines

CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure It comprises a motor that draws in room air, filters and pressurises it, and then delivers it to users via a mask. The steady stream of air acts as a splint, preventing the soft tissues at the back of the throat from collapsing and blocking the airway. You can breathe freely and sleep soundly.

Proper and regular use of CPAP machines a patient’s OSA can be treated with snoring and apnoeas reduced back to normal level.**

FAQs

What is a CPAP machine, and how does it work?

A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine helps individuals with OSA (obstructive sleep apnoea). It works by continuously delivering a set amount of air pressure through a mask, keeping the airways open during sleep. This process ensures a steady oxygen supply and a more restful night for those affected by OSA.

What is the difference between CPAP and BiPAP?

Both CPAP and BiPAP machines assist in treating OSA. While a CPAP machine provides a continuous stream of air pressure, a BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) machine delivers two different pressure levels: one for inhalation and a lower one for exhalation. This can make breathing more comfortable for some individuals. Our team at Sove CPAP Clinic can help you understand which option is best for your specific needs.
