Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. Common treatments include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, which uses a machine to deliver pressurized air through a mask to keep the airways open; oral appliance therapy, which uses a custom-fitted device to move the jaw forward and open the airway; and weight loss and lifestyle modifications for those who are overweight or obese.

Sleep apnea treatment in Cyprus typically involves continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy or oral appliances. CPAP uses a machine to deliver pressurized air through a mask, keeping airways open during sleep. Oral appliances reposition the jaw and tongue to maintain an open airway. Prices vary depending on the specific treatment and equipment.
Cyprus has a well-developed healthcare system with modern facilities and English-speaking doctors. Waiting times for sleep apnea treatments are generally short, around 1-2 weeks.
