We’re here to help! Let our friendly team help you with your troublesome sleep.

What Is Sleep Apnea and Its Symptoms?

Sleep apnea is a condition that causes patients to briefly stop breathing while they sleep. This is often believed to be nothing more than snoring, but it can be worrisome.

Sleep apnea is hard to diagnose as it only occurs when you are sleeping. It’s so hard to self-diagnose that those with sleep apnea are often made aware of their symptoms by a partner. That’s why we recommend an at-home sleep test.

While you can’t tell if you have sleep apnea while sleeping, some notable symptoms can occur when you wake. These problematic symptoms include:

• Headaches, migraines, and general discomfort
• Irritability
• Grogginess and a general malaise throughout your day

If you notice these symptoms, you may want to get an at-home test. Contact our team for more information.

Treatments to Stop Your Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Treatment for snoring or sleep apnea can involve various methods. CPAP, AKA, continuous positive airway pressure machines, are a common way to stop snoring. However, many don’t like their bulky, generally uncomfortable nature.

If you don’t want to deal with a CPAP machine, there are more convenient methods of treatment. Other treatment methods for sleep apnea include:

• Not smoking or drinking alcohol
• Avoiding sleeping pills
• Losing weight
• Sleeping on your side or in another position
• Exercises to strengthen your mouth and throat muscles
