Does oxygen help with sleep apnea?
It is natural for your oxygen levels to fall lower when you are sleeping at night. Although some conditions such as sleep apnea may improve with the addition of oxygen whilst you are sleeping. It is very common that people who have an oxygen level that falls lower than 88% whilst sleeping will require some oxygen at night.
Medical oxygen will help improve those low oxygen levels but you can also try exercising regularly and make sure you are not drinking alcohol before bedtime.
Having a better nights' sleep will improve your mood, decrease fatigueness and overall improve your health.
A better nights' sleep will maintain an improvement in your life - discuss all your options with your specialist or GP first.
If you suffer with deprived sleeping patterns this can affect your daily life and well-being.
It is important to try and improve your energy and mood so you can live a balanced and happy life.
