A good night’s sleep is instrumental to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
When you have a good night’s sleep you feel rested and ready to tackle the day ahead.
But if you or your partner suffer from sleep apnoea, then the chances are that one or both of you probably isn’t getting optimal rest, and you’re waking up tired.
Sleep apnoea is a common, but potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night causing disturbed sleep.
One of the most common ways to manage this is with a CPAP machine.
A CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) uses mild air pressure to keep your breathing airways open while you sleep. A CPAP machine gently distributes the air into the airways through your nose and mouth as you sleep, which allows you to get a good night’s sleep.
Once you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, pharmacists in collaboration with sleep specialists will recommend the right CPAP machine for you.
And at Pharmacy 777 there’s a range of CPAP aftercare services available to help optimise your CPAP therapy and ensure you’re well supported throughout your sleep apnoea journey.
“A CPAP device should always be configured by a trained professional to ensure patients have the best possible experience with their CPAP therapy,” Pharmacist San San Tan said.
“Our trained Pharmacists are able to easily identify if a patient requires more assistance and can also help with any questions they might have.
“It’s important to make sure the CPAP is set up right, so the patient has the best possible sleep outcome.”
Pharmacy 777 Pharmacists can help to configure your CPAP machine, address any concerns you might have and make sure that your CPAP machine is being cleaned and checked regularly so it’s working effectively.
“It’s vital that the CPAP mask is kept clean so that it fits and seals well,” San San said.
“Cracks and debris built up in hose may also affect the delivery of the pressurised air and overlooked cracks or deterioration to the humidifier chamber can cause significant damage to the CPAP machine.
“At Pharmacy 777 all of our Pharmacists are trained to make you feel well supported.”
There are a range of service options available in Pharmacy including a CPAP Data Download and Interpretation, CPAP Device Initial Set up and a Full Service Check and Clean, which is recommended annually.
