What Are The Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea?
It’s significant because sleep apnea is a serious condition. In addition to leaving you feeling excessively tired during the day, it can cause morning headaches, irritability and depression. It has also been associated with a number of other significant medical conditions including:
High Blood Pressure
Type 2 Diabetes
Stroke
Heart Disease / Heart Attack
Irregular Heartbeat
Driving and Work-Related Accidents
Ordering Sleep Supplies
Your CPAP / BIPAP’s accessory equipment is a lot like other frequently used health products, such as your toothbrush or a razor: it deteriorates, ceases to function optimally, and can get germy and unsanitary.It’s important to replace your CPAP / BIPAP equipment to make sure your machine is as clean, effective, and comfortable as possible. However, unlike a toothbrush, the CPAP / BIPAP equipment may not look worn even though it needs to be replaced.
It’s important to replace your equipment following a schedule:
-
Mask – Every 3 months
-
Headgear / Chin Strap – Every 6 months
-
CPAP / BIPAP Device – Every 3 to 7 years
-
Tubing – Every 3 months
-
Cushion / Pillows – Every 2 weeks
-
Filters – Every 2 weeks
-
Water Chamber – Every 6 months
