Everything You Need To Know About Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a medical term that results in a brief halt in your breathing while you are asleep. These short pauses during your sleep are referred to as hypopneas, which lasts for a few seconds and it can occur approximately five to thirty times in an hour. When you stop breathing, you will not get sufficient air into your lungs and this can affect your health.

Common Factors Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea


Various factors affect sleep apnea. One of the major causes is excess weight. The circumference of the neck is also a major factor when it comes to sleep apnea. People that have thicker necks usually have thinner airways. This results in breathing problems at night.

Another factor is family history. If there are cases of sleep apnea in your family, it makes sense to visit us as soon as possible. Our professionals will ensure you undergo a thorough checkup to rule out the possibility of the disorder. Consumption of alcohol and tobacco is also another factor. Males that have any of these habits are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea Diagnosis And Correction


Headaches after waking up, irritation, and drowsiness during the day and even depression are some of the common symptoms. If you experience any of these, the best thing to do is visit our professionals right away. Our professionals will confirm the presence of this disorder by conducting certain tests. These are simple tests that monitor your sleep and breathing pattern. If you feel that you could be vulnerable to sleep apnea or you are facing any of the symptoms, make sure you call us or visit our office right away. Our professionals will diagnose and provide the right treatment method for you.
