Sleep Apnea & Snoring

Sleep apnea is condition that causes infrequent shallow breaths and pauses in breathing during sleep.

Patients with sleep apnea suffer from disturbances in breathing while sleeping. Each cessation od breath is called an apnea and may last up to 40 seconds before alerting the brain to wake the patient enough to change positions so they can breathe again. In fact, many people have no knowledge of their sleep apnea symptoms until a spouse or sleeping partner informs them.

Patients with sleep apnea symptoms often misinterpret these indications as fatigue since they rarely get a good night’s sleep.
Sleep apnea symptoms may include:

  • Difficulty concentrating or forgetfulness
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Irritability
  • Dry mouth
  • Night sweats
  • Sudden awakenings accompanied by a feeling of choking or gasping
