What You Can Do To Prevent Sleep Apnea
Patients with sleep apnea need to restrict the positions of their bodies during the night time. The probabilities of having obstructive sleep apnea are more common if the person is lying in the supine position. Some people might experience sleep apnea in only the supine position so these people must avoid sleeping in this position. Some devices like a snore ball or a monitor for recording the position using gravity can be useful to prevent the onset of sleep apnea during the night time. However, the use of these devices only helps those patients who have mild sleep apnea and is also cumbersome for the patient to use.
Moreover, patients having obesity can also try to sleep in an upright position to prevent the condition of sleep apnea. The specially manufactured pillow by the FDA known as pillow positive is very beneficial for the prevention of mild obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. By controlling the snoring, the patient is able to maintain a sound sleep with the help of pillow positive. The special pillow maintains the head and neck of the patient in the same position so that there is the optimization of sleep and breathing with zero disturbances.
