Why Sleep Apnea is so Dangerous

Sleep apnea disrupts your sleep cycle and breathing. In fact, apnea literally means “without breath,” which is why it’s not the same as snoring. As snoring stops, it’s likely that breathing has stopped as well. In response, the body jolts you awake, despite the fact you are not even aware that you’ve woken up. This constant cycle of sleeping and waking hundreds of times a night is precisely what leaves you tired the next morning.

This is why another common symptom of sleep apnea is chronic fatigue. However, did you know symptoms like these can put yourself and even others in harm’s way, especially if you drive a vehicle regularly?

How We Can Help

We’ll partner you with a primary physician so a sleep study can be completed. From there, we generally prescribe a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. This ensures your air passages stay open through the night. If this device becomes too difficult to use, we can also provide you with custom-made oral appliances that works similar to a nightguard. This device keeps the mouth and throat in a position conducive to sleep.
