Have You Stopped Using Your CPAP Machine?

Let us help you eliminate CPAP machine side effects.

 
 

Are You Suffering From CPAP Intolerance?

For those with sleep apnea, a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) machine can prevent the air passages from narrowing or collapsing, allowing them to get a good night’s rest. CPAP units accomplish this by providing a continuous air stream via a nose mask that is worn while sleeping. Although the CPAP machine provides relief for many sleep apnea suffers, some may experience CPAP intolerance, brought on by issues with the equipment.

If you aren’t using your CPAP in Indian Trail, NC, because of CPAP machine side effects, Dr. Henry Ernst can help.

CPAP IntoleranceAlternatives for Patients Experiencing CPAP Machine Side Effects

If you have OSA and have been unable to use your CPAP machine, talk to Dr. Ernst. It is possible that another solution, such as an oral appliance or even surgery, may eliminate the need for CPAP entirely. The most important function of the machine is to improve your quality of sleep, which is impossible if you have stopped using it because of CPAP machine side effects.

Schedule your free consultation with Dr. Ernst to discuss additional options to alleviate your sleep apnea symptoms without using CPAP in Indian Trail, NC. You’ll receive a detailed sleep apnea questionnaire, medical and risk factor review, and rhinometer and pharyngometer testing in our new office. We offer convenient evening appointments and have games available for children.
 
 
 

  • I have been renovating the back of the office and decided to have my teeth cleaned. It was one of the best experiences I have had in a dental chair. I can say from spending not just an hour or so but weeks with this staff that they are a special bunch. From the front desk to the Doc these are genuinely caring and friendly folks. If you are searching for a great dentist in the area, I would highly recommend Pleasant Plains Dental! P.S. I almost fell asleep during my cleaning!!

  • My first visit was an emergency appointment. I was taken right away. From the minute I walked in I felt very comfortable and I knew that the patient came first. My problem was taken care of immediately and pain free the entire time. The procedures and follow up were explained very well and any questions I had were welcomed. We have been in Indian Trail for almost 5 years and have had negative experiences with dental care here so far. I have found my dentist at Pleasant Plains. I am very very pleased and highly recommend Dr. Ernst and his staff.
