FAQ

Answer: Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and decreased oxygen levels in the body.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, dry mouth, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Sleep apnea is diagnosed through a sleep study called polysomnography. This test records various body functions during sleep, including brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, and breathing patterns.

Treatment options for sleep apnea include lifestyle changes, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, oral appliances, and in some cases, surgery.

CPAP therapy involves wearing a mask over the nose or nose and mouth during sleep. The machine delivers a continuous stream of air pressure, keeping the airway open and preventing apnea episodes.

Yes, oral appliances can be an effective treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea. These devices are custom-made to keep the airway open by repositioning the jaw or tongue.

Lifestyle changes that can help manage sleep apnea include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, sleeping on your side, and practicing good sleep hygiene.

Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and daytime accidents. Seeking treatment can improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
