There are two different kinds of sleep studies; a polysomnogram and a home-based test. Both of these tests record your heart rate, blood pressure, and the amount of oxygen in your blood while you sleep.
For extreme sleep apnea cases, surgery is recommended to remove tissue or repositioning the jaw. For mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea, there are several devices that can help to provide oxygen.
CPAP – The Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device delivers air pressure through a mask placed over your face while you sleep. The air pressure encourages your airways to stay open, preventing sleep apnea.
Oral Appliances – Oral appliances are designed to move your jaw around until your throat is open enough to prevent snoring and sleep apnea.
