This is a serious problem that you don\u2019t take lightly, but you\u2019ve been disappointed in thinking that there\u2019s only one option for you, the constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.\u00a0 You know that you can\u2019t just dismiss your problem, but you\u2019re desperately seeking an alternative for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statecollegedentalsleepmedicine.com\/types-of-oral-appliances.html\">sleep apnea<\/a> treatment in State College. Learn about some simple options available to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 18pt;\">What is CPAP?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">A CPAP machine is used to address a problem that\u2019s becoming more common: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sufferers of this condition experience interruptions in their breathing caused by a blockage in their airways that stops their breathing for a few seconds. This condition can lead to more serious issues like chronic daytime drowsiness, heart disease and stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The device consists of three primary pieces: the motor, hoses and mask. They have the following functions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; color: #333333; line-height: 18pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;\"><b><span style=\"margin: 0px; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Motor <\/span><\/b><span style=\"margin: 0px; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u2013 This is a small compressor that pulls in room temperature air and pressurizes it.
