Are you struggling to find energy throughout the day? Do you wake up feeling tired and unrested? Obstructive sleep apnea is a common condition, especially among men, that can sometimes go undiagnosed, as it occurs during sleep. Along with daytime fatigue, sleep apnea can have other symptoms, in addition to being a serious medical condition. If you think you may be suffering from sleep apnea, we encourage you to visit our office for a consultation. Properly treating sleep apnea not only helps you receive the restful sleep you need to function during the day, but can lower the risk for more serious health conditions from developing.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition characterized by routine pauses in breathing during sleep. When the jaw relaxes, it collapses and causes airways to become obstructed. This does not let oxygen pass through and breathing is pauses. Many times, people who notice their partner is snoring, also notice the sleeper wakes gasping for breath as well. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to poor performance at work, chronic fatigue, and has been linked to more serious health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
