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 India includes CPAP therapy, oral appliances, and surgery. CPAP involves using a machine to help breathe during sleep, while oral appliances reposition the jaw. Surgery may be recommended for severe cases.
India's affordable healthcare system makes sleep apnea treatments accessible. However, waiting times can vary from 1 to 3 weeks.
