As a respiratory therapy specialist and the owner of Adnan Respicare, I’ve seen firsthand how sleep apnea machines and tests can completely transform lives. But I also understand that for many patients in Pakistan, starting CPAP or BiPAP therapy can feel overwhelming—especially when comfort is an issue.
In this blog, I’ll guide you through everything you need to know about making your sleep therapy journey smoother, safer, and more comfortable. Whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or a healthcare professional, this post will help you find the right sleep apnea equipment, understand how tests work, and choose accessories that can truly boost comfort—and results.
Sleep apnea is more than just snoring or feeling tired—it’s a serious sleep disorder that affects your breathing at night and puts your heart, brain, and lungs at risk. In Pakistan, more and more patients are getting diagnosed thanks to better awareness and access to home sleep tests and medical sleep evaluations.
You might be asking:
At Adnan Respicare, we help patients choose between an overnight sleep test in a lab (polysomnography) or a sleep apnea test at home using a portable sleep monitoring device.
Both methods are effective. After the results, your doctor may prescribe a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure) machine.
Do You Really Need a Sleep Apnea Machine?
This is one of the most common questions I get:
“Do I need a machine if I have sleep apnea?”
If your sleep apnea is moderate to severe, the answer is usually yes. Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to:
Now let’s get to the real issue: comfort. Many patients stop using their machines because of discomfort. Here are some accessories that actually work, based on my real-world experience with Pakistani patients.
Dry throat and nose? A heated humidifier prevents dryness and irritation, especially in cold areas like Murree, Abbottabad, or Quetta.
Regular pillows press against your mask and cause leaks. A CPAP pillow has cut-outs for the mask, improving comfort and sealing.
If you breathe through your mouth while sleeping, a chin strap can keep your mouth closed and ensure effective therapy.
These soft fabric liners reduce mask pressure, prevent red marks, and absorb moisture.
A hose holder or CPAP hose stand prevents tangling and keeps your mask in place, especially for restless sleepers.
Meet Mr. Aslam, a 55-year-old from Lahore who was diagnosed through a home sleep test. He was prescribed a CPAP machine but struggled with mask leaks and dry throat.
After visiting Adnan Respicare, we added a humidifier, CPAP pillow, and mask liners to his setup. Within a week, he reported sleeping through the night, snoring stopped, and his blood pressure improved.
“I finally feel fresh in the morning,” he told us. That’s the power of personalized respiratory care.
Can you recover from sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a chronic condition, but it is manageable with the right treatment like CPAP, weight loss, or surgery in some cases.
What is the best way to stop sleep apnea?
Using your prescription sleep machine regularly, improving lifestyle, and tracking progress with a sleep therapy device are the best ways.
What are the warning signs?
Loud snoring, choking during sleep, fatigue, and morning headaches.
