Determining If You Have Sleep Apnea And Solving The Problem
Sleep apnea is caused by a lack of oxygen you receive while sleeping. Soft tissue in the back of your throat can collapse while you’re unconscious, resulting in difficulty breathing. The first step is to come speak with us regarding your symptoms. You may only be aware of your snoring, but sleep apnea also causes:
- Exhaustion
- Confusion
- Headaches
- Irritability
Sleep apnea has also been linked to heart problems, diabetes, and strokes, which is why it’s so important for us to treat your symptoms ASAP. You’ll first undergo a sleep study to determine what your sleep patterns are like. If it confirms you are suffering from mild or moderate sleep apnea, we’ll create a customized mouthguard that will shift your jaw into the proper place so you can breathe easier at night.
