Do you feel your sleep quality is not good enough? You might have to diagnose if you are suffering from sleep apnea. What is sleep apnea? (https://wakeupwell.com.au/blogs/blogs/do-you-need-a-cpap-mask ). Here are some tips to diagnose your symptoms initially.
Symptoms and side effects of sleep apnea
● The first symptom of sleep apnea is fatigue, which can often be mistaken for being tired. Others experience restless sleep, interrupted sleep, night sweats, and/or heavy breathing during sleep.
● Persistent fatigue and poor concentration are the most common signs of sleep apnea, which are often mistaken for the “normal” symptom of being tired.
● The most significant sign of sleep apnea is constant snoring, which can be very disruptive to a person’s life. If you’re a snorer, you know how difficult it is to get a good night’s sleep when someone else in the bed is snoring. Scientifically speaking, sleep apnea is a condition where the airway is either partially or completely blocked during sleep.
The side effects of sleep apnea are numerous if you just ignore it. Some of the most common include high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, enlarged heart and/or throat, and depression. While the list of potential side effects is extensive, the most serious side effect of sleep apnea is death. Because sleep apnea is a condition that directly impacts the heart and blood vessels, those who are diagnosed with sleep apnea are at a much greater risk of dying from a heart attack or another blood vessel-related condition. You’re not the only one. A lot of people are facing the same problem, and the only answer to their problems is a CPAP Machine.
How does a CPAP Machine improve your sleep apnea?
A CPAP Machine is designed to enhance the oxygen level around your nose and mouth by using a sealed mask coupled to a compressor, as sleep apnea is caused by a blockage airway during sleep. The compressor (motor) in a CPAP machine produces a steady stream of pressured air that passes through an air filter and into a flexible tube. As a result of the necessary airflow and enhanced air pressure and condition provided by the CPAP machine, your breath does not pause, and you do not have to wake up frequently throughout your sleep. See our prior explanation for further information. (https://wakeupwell.com.au/blogs/blogs/are-cpap-masks-helpful-in-preventing-serious-health-problems) The science is in, and the benefits of utilising a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine to treat sleep apnea have been recognised by the medical community. The American Board of Sleep Medicine currently demands that at least one multiple-choice question about CPAP be included on all board certification tests. Many of the key symptoms of sleep apnea have been proven to improve with the use of a CPAP machine, including improved oxygen levels in the blood, lower blood pressure, and better breathing. Using a CPAP machine has also been demonstrated to lower the risk of a variety of significant health conditions, including heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes, over time. So, even with all of the advantages of a CPAP machine, you may be concerned about the out-of-pocket cost of owning one. Here are some cost-cutting ideas to alleviate your problems!
Tip 1: Medicare would get your back for your purchase of a CPAP machine
As an Australian enrolled in Medicare Part B, congratulations! If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea by a licensed doctor, your CPAP machine purchase may be covered up to 80% of the purchase price. This is the general advice for the majority, it's usually a good idea to double-check your medicare plan's criteria before buying or renting durable medical equipment (DME) like CPAP machines.
Tip 2: Private Health Insurance coverage for a CPAP machine
Following Medicare coverage, your out-of-pocket expense would be 20% of the list price. You may have private health insurance that will pay the cost of purchasing a CPAC machine. This is fantastic news because it means you won't have to pay the full amount right now. You will make payments in accordance with the conditions of your insurance policy. If you do not have private health insurance, you may be eligible for financial assistance to cover the cost of purchasing or renting a CPAC machine.
