Houston Sleep Health provides CPAP therapy, sleep studies, and personalized treatment plans to help patients manage obstructive sleep apnea and improve their sleep health.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is one of the primary treatments for people with obstructive sleep apnea.
Raj Kakar, MD, and the team at Houston Sleep Health specialize in CPAP treatment and management. We help you understand your diagnosis, begin an appropriate treatment plan, and address challenges along the way.
Contact our team to discuss your symptoms or book an appointment.
Talk with our teamCPAP is a non-invasive treatment that uses continuous positive air pressure to help people with obstructive sleep apnea breathe more easily while they sleep.
With obstructive sleep apnea, the upper airway can narrow or become blocked as throat muscles relax during sleep. Snoring is a common symptom. CPAP helps hold the airway open to support breathing.
The CPAP device produces a steady flow of pressurized air at settings prescribed for your treatment.
Tubing connects the device to a mask. A suitable mask fit helps deliver the prescribed air comfortably.
Continuous positive pressure helps prevent the upper airway from collapsing while you sleep.
If you suspect you or someone you love has sleep apnea, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kakar at Houston Sleep Health.
Our 5-Step Program for Snoring & Sleep Apnea™ guides evaluation and treatment. Dr. Kakar may recommend CPAP when sleep testing confirms obstructive sleep apnea and PAP therapy is appropriate for your circumstances.
Schedule a sleep evaluationWe review your medical history, symptoms, and concerns about your sleep.
When appropriate, sleep testing helps confirm a diagnosis and guide treatment.
We discuss the treatment approaches that fit your diagnosis and individual needs.
You begin your prescribed treatment with guidance from the sleep team.
Follow-up appointments help monitor your sleep, treatment response, and any problems that arise.
After your sleep specialist determines that CPAP is appropriate, the team works with you to identify a suitable mask and pressure settings. Your care may include a CPAP titration study, depending on your needs.
Your clinician provides a prescription for the equipment. The team will explain whether it will be supplied through the practice or a durable medical equipment (DME) provider.
Equipment delivery timing depends on the supplier, insurance requirements, and availability. Ask our team for the expected timeline for your prescription.
Ask about CPAP setupFollow-up helps us understand how you are doing with CPAP. An early review is often planned around the first month, with timing tailored to your treatment needs.
Bring your CPAP device and mask to your first follow-up appointment so the team can review your equipment and address any concerns.
Tell us about mask discomfort, leaks, or any difficulty using the equipment.
Your clinician can assess whether pressure or equipment adjustments are needed.
Device data helps the team evaluate use and how well your therapy is working.
If your mask or pressure is difficult to tolerate, contact your sleep team. Adjustments or alternative approaches may help.
A little clarity can make starting treatment feel more manageable.
Contact our teamCPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, uses pressurized air delivered through a mask to help keep the airway open during sleep. It is an established treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
CPAP is generally considered after sleep testing confirms obstructive sleep apnea and your sleep specialist determines that PAP therapy is appropriate. Treatment decisions should be based on your diagnosis and individual circumstances.
If your mask is uncomfortable or the pressure is difficult to tolerate, contact your sleep team rather than simply stopping treatment. Mask fitting, pressure adjustments, equipment changes, or alternative treatment approaches may be considered.
Timing can vary with the equipment supplier, insurance requirements, and availability. Contact Houston Sleep Health to confirm the expected timing for your prescription and any next steps.
