Benefits of PAP

Discover how therapy can reduce the symptoms of sleep apnoea…

Did you know?

PAP therapy may reduce symptoms of untreated sleep apnoea, such as morning headaches, forgetfulness, poor concentration and tiredness.

The health benefits of PAP

The clinical benefits of PAP therapy include a reduction in apnoeas, hypopnoeas, daytime sleepiness, blood pressure, plus a lower risk of motor vehicle accidents, as well as improved quality of life1.

How long before I see change?

Be patient: whether you’re new to PAP therapy or simply using a new PAP device, it may take your body some time to adjust fully. Some people notice an improvement within a few days, while others may need to wait longer to see or feel an impact. One tip is to track your therapy use and how you feel during the day. It can help you monitor the effects of therapy over time and allow you to see your progress. ResMed’s myAir mobile app can help you follow how well you are doing.

Please refer to the user guide for relevant information related to any warnings and precautions to be considered before and during use of the product.
