Frequently Asked Questions
OSA is a condition in which a person stops breathing repeatedly while asleep. This is due to the throat or airway collapsing and preventing air from getting into the lungs. Normal sleep patterns are disrupted, resulting in many symptoms including morning headaches, excessive sleepiness or fatigue throughout the day, irritability and poor concentration. OSA can also lead to serious health complications.
Many CPAP users find that using a CPAP device is a restorative and life-changing treatment. Provided you commit to the treatment, you will see many benefits including:
- Longer, More Restful Sleep
- Improved Energy
- Less Drowsiness During the Day
- Reduced High Blood Pressure
- Reduced Risk of Heart Attack
- Reduced Risk of Stroke
- Improved Cardiac Function
There is possible increased risk for:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease and heart attack
- Stroke
- Fatigue related motor vehicle accidents
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Decreased quality of life
- Depression
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) treats OSA by providing a gentle flow of positive air pressure in through a facial mask to help keep the airway open during sleep.
As a result:- Breathing becomes regular during sleep
- Snoring stops
- Restful sleep is restored and patients awaken feeling refreshed
- Mood improves and overall quality of life is improved
- Risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, motor vehicle and work accidents are reduced
Most people find they begin to wake up feeling more refreshed within the first week of use, though for some people it may take a bit longer. For the most part the CPAP machine is very quiet, however some people find adjusting to wearing a mask at night can take a little time.
Difficulty adjusting to therapy may also be due to minor problems that can be easily fixed. If you find you are lying awake tossing and turning, it's best to get out of bed, have a warm non-caffeinated drink, partake in a relaxing activity (such as reading) until you feel sleepy, and then return to bed.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an AMAZING experience. Sleep consultant Sharon was fantastic! She was so informative and knowledgeable and made my elderly parents feel at ease and that no question was a problem to answer. I will definitely be referring this sleep apnea clinic to EVERYONE who will listen.

Amazing customer service! Sharon and the team went above and beyond to arrange not only a replacement, but a full refund, when my Phillips sleep apnea machine was recalled. This was not their responsibility and is an excellent example of the teams dedication to customer satisfaction.

First class pharmacy with a huge range & excellent staff. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted warmly & assisted. I found out that I suffer from sleep apnoea & the girls Sharon, Georgia & Chantelle from the sleep department helped through the entire process. From the initial test to purchasing my machine, these lovely ladies helped every step. I rented a machine through the pharmacy until I worked out what was best for me. The girls set everything up & helped me choose the best mask to suit my sleep style. I hardly know its on when I use it. They are there for any ongoing support that I may need. Totally recommend Foote's Pharmacy for anything!!

I came into the pharmacy not knowing what I needed. I was having problems with my machine blowing. Sharon sat me down in a private room and hired out a machine for me and also did a free mask fitting. I ended up just needing to replace my mask but this has made a big difference to me. I now am getting a good nights sleep and feel much better during the day. Everyone really went out of their way to help me.

Wow!!! What an amazing experience right from the beginning. I cannot even begin to explain how happy I am with the amazing experience I’ve received from the Redbank Plains store. Ayla, Kylie & Sharon are beautiful ladies and I cannot speak highly enough of their friendliness, understanding and commitment to ensuring my sleep apnoea needs were met. The store offers very competitive prices compared to other retailers but it is the fantastic service and after sales advice they provide that sets them apart. I cannot recommend the store and its services enough. Going onto a machine has really changed my life. I am now able to function well and live a happier lifestyle. Thanks again.

I cannot even begin to express how impressed I am with the level of customer service I received from Sharon the sleep apnoea consultant at Redbank Plains. Sharon provided marvellous support during my sleep therapy. She went well and truly above and beyond which in retail these days is rare to find. The service that she provided was personalised to my ongoing needs. I would highly recommend popping into the store and speaking with any of the sleep consultants. Thank you Sharon.
