Sleep Apnea Care – Los Angeles Sleep Center
A large tongue with a small mouth can create blockage of the airways during sleep. This can lead to snoring and sleep apnea. Fortunately, there are many strategies for sleep apnea care that can help you find relief and a good night’s rest.
Sleep apnea is usually much worse when you are sleeping on your back. One of the biggest risk factors with sleep apnea is that the tongue can slip back into the throat and block oxygen for a very long time, sometimes as long as ninety seconds.
Partial blockage is what leads to the noise of snoring. A complete blockage is sleep apnea. Consult with us, The Snore Experts, to learn more about sleep apnea care. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

CPAP/APAP
HOW DO I USE A CPAP?
Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) is considered by many the gold standard for the treatment of sleep apnea, especially for very severe cases. The CPAP and APAP machines are designed to increase air pressure going through the throat. This prevents the airway from collapsing during inhalation. At Snore Experts, we have helped countless patients get a good night’s rest using CPAP treatments to treat their sleep apnea. The goal of positive airway pressure is to keep the airway from collapsing using air pressure.
