Walnut Wisdom: Do I need a CPAP

How do I know if I need a CPAP:

The most common symptoms related to obstructive and central sleep apneas and the need for a CPAP are:

Loud snoring-Episodes in which you stop breathing during sleep-Gasping for air during sleep-Awakening with a dry mouth-Morning headache-Difficulty staying asleep (Insomnia)-Excessive daytime sleepiness-Difficulty paying attention while awake-Irritability.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, speak to your doctor about sleep apnea and see if the use of a CPAP can improve your health.

Walnut Medical Services has a Certified Respiratory Therapist on staff to setup your CPAP, fit you with a mask that works best for you and answer any questions you may have about sleep apnea and CPAP’s.

Remember to ASK 4 WALNUT for your CPAP, CPAP supplies and any other home medical equipment you may need.
