To remember
- PPC : the reference solution for moderate to severe apnea
- Mandibular orthosis : alternative for PPC intolerances
- Nasal strips : reduce nasal resistance, ideal for light apnea
- Weight loss : −10% BMI ≈ −30% AHI
- Side sleep : significantly reduces the apnea index
1. Which sleep apnea treatment should I choose?
The choice varies depending on the severity (AHI) , your anatomical conformation and your tolerance . Experts recommend PPC if the AHI ≥ 15. For mild apnea or in case of intolerance, opt for a mandibular advancement device or nasal strips , which are more discreet and comfortable.
PPC (CPAP): medical reference
A nasal mask delivers continuous positive airway pressure that keeps the airway open, reducing AHI by nearly 70%. It is the most documented method for moderate to severe apnea.
Mandibular advancement device
This splint moves the jaw forward by approximately 6 mm and lowers the AHI by an average of 60 to 70%. It is suitable for people who are intolerant to CPAP or have mild to moderate apnea.
BreatheBetter Nasal Strips
By gently spreading the nostrils, they reduce nasal resistance and improve airflow. It provides immediate support for mild apnea and is an ideal complement to other treatments.
2. Natural treatment for mild sleep apnea
Before adopting a medical device, consolidate your health habits.
- Weight loss : Each kilo lost decreases the AHI by approximately 0.8 events per hour.
- Breathing exercises : 30 minutes a day for three months to strengthen the muscles of the airways.
- Side sleeping : Sleeping on your side immediately reduces the apnea index.
- Sleep hygiene : Limit alcohol, tobacco and sedatives three hours before bedtime.
3. When to consider surgery?
Surgery is reserved for CPAP failures or severe apnea with identified anatomical obstruction. A specialized ENT specialist will assess the feasibility and expected benefit.
