I HATE CPAP! Website is Awarded Best Blog Award! The I HATE CPAP Website is the Premiere Site for Information on the Dangers of Sleep Apnea and Alternatives to CPAP for Treating Apnea.

    GURNEE, IL, September 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sleep Apnea is a serious medical condition usually treated with CPAP or continuous positive air pressure. Patients are fitted with a mask, hose and compressor and treatment is very effective.

Unfortunately, the majority of patients do not tolerate CPAP. A recent study showed 60% of patients completely quit CPAP and even patients who continue to use it average only 4-5 hours a night not the recommended 7-8 hours a night.

Dr Shapira created I HATE CPAP! LLC and the website http://www.ihatecpap.com to help patients who could not tolerate CPAP. His website has been featured in Bottomline Personal and other local and national media outlets. Thousands of patients visit his site every month in search of a better nights sleep and a better life.

The Award letter states "I Hate CPAP!, was determined to be one of the best blogs to exude overall brilliance. And so, it has received our 2010 Top 15 Sleep Disorder Blogs award presented by Medical Billing and Coding!"
