Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.

Sleep Apnea Problems in the old age

My grandmother was restless during her sleep at night. She was unable to sleep properly for several months due to breathing problems. It was creating a lot of trouble for us. We searched online to find a solution for her breathing problem and came across a few products. Since we were confused about which one to choose, we took the opinion of our family doctor. He told us that buying a ResMed mask would be a good option among these as she is suffering from sleep apnea condition. So we bought it for her, and she started using it. We were all amazed to see her sleep peacefully once she started using it. What's your opinion about using this product for conditions like this? If you or anyone in your family has used it, do tell us your views too.

Your question is rather confusing. Has your grandmother had a sleep study that shows some level of sleep apnea? I have no idea about why a person would buy a mask that is designed only for SA when it is connected to to a SA machine. A mask by it self would not do anything that I know of. Does she have a sleep apnea machine? How was she able to obtain a SA mask without a prescription?

More information is really needed to answer your question.
