Struggling with CPAP? Let's talk alternatives

Join Harvard-trained sleep physician, Dr. Sahil Chopra, for a candid conversation about CPAP alternatives

What to Know About CPAP Alternatives

If you've been diagnosed with sleep apnea, CPAP is usually the first thing offered. For many people it works well, but plenty of people never get comfortable with it. The mask, the pressure, the dryness, the travel hassle. Some stop using it within weeks and quietly go back to sleeping poorly, with the apnea still untreated.

The good news is that CPAP is no longer the only path. There's a growing set of alternatives, and the right one depends heavily on your anatomy, the type and severity of your apnea, and what your sleep data actually shows.

In this session, Dr. Sahil Chopra walks through what those options are, who they tend to work for, and how to think through the decision with your physician.

The format is a short presentation followed by a live "Ask Me Anything" with Dr. Chopra, where you can get your own sleep questions answered.

Topics:
  • Why CPAP works well for some people and not for others
  • The main categories of alternatives: oral appliances, positional therapy, nerve stimulation, surgical options, and weight-related approaches
  • How your anatomy and sleep data help narrow down which options are worth exploring
  • The questions worth asking before you switch and the tradeoffs people tend to underestimate

Keilah is a joy to work with. In today's appointment, Keilah clearly detailed our next steps and the reason these are the next steps. Part of the reason I chose to renew my membership is because it is clear Keilah, Dr. Chopra and the entire EmpowerSleep team cares about quality sleep and their patients' wellbeing; the other part is because the superior results speak for themselves.
