Millions of people worldwide are affected by sleep apnea, a potentially dangerous condition that causes your breathing to stop and start during the night. Various treatments for sleep apnea are available, with therapies to both manage the symptoms as well as address the root cause.
When most people think of sleep apnea treatments, they think of the CPAP machine. But while this is a common — and effective — treatment, CPAP machines aren't the only option. And there isn't a 'one-size-fits-all' treatment for sleep apnea, and treatment methods vary based on the country you live in. Often, traditional treatments are best paired with lifestyle changes, to tackle sleep apnea from every angle. This is also known as 'treatment stacking'.
