Health Tip: Considering a CPAP for Sleep Apnea?

(HealthDay News) -- A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device helps people with sleep apnea breathe easier while they sleep.

The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute mentions these potential benefits:

• Helping your airways stay open during sleep.
• Reducing snoring.
• Alleviating daytime sleepiness and other apnea symptoms.
• Lowering blood pressure.
