What you need to know if go undiagnosed with Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is an epidemic affecting millions, are you one of them? Do you wake up feeling tired or sleepy? If so, you may suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder marked by an interruption of breathing throughout the sleep cycle.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) affects an estimated 26-37% of American adults1,2. OSA can be life threatening if left untreated, yet it often goes undiagnosed. Most people don’t even know they suffer from OSA, or the very real dangers they live with. For those with sleep apnea, collapsed tissue within the throat obstructs the airway resulting in interrupted breathing during sleep.
Sleep apnea is a nationwide epidemic, affecting an estimated 1 in 5 adults. Many suffer from the condition undiagnosed and unaware that they live with a dangerous, yet treatable disease. People with sleep apnea stop breathing for short periods during sleep, causing their bodies to wake up partially to breathe. These small awakenings interrupt the sleep cycle, preventing truly restful sleep. Symptoms include restless sleep, waking up tired, gasping for air at night and of course loud snoring. Untreated sleep apnea can exacerbate other conditions like heart disease, diabetes and depression. If you or someone you know has these symptoms, please schedule an appointment for a screening and consultation with Dr. Khalon (408) 418-1755.
The good news is that many cases qualify for a comfortable and convenient oral appliance, instead of a CPAP. It’s a small device worn in the mouth that positions the jaw to allow for unobstructed airflow, allowing uninterrupted, deep and restful sleep. For people who already have a CPAP, some cases qualify for switching to oral appliance therapy. Please contact the office to learn more (408) 418-1755.
