What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a relatively common condition that causes pauses in breathing during sleep. If you have sleep apnea, your partner may say that you snore loudly, have notable lapses in breathing, or gasp for air during sleep. Other common symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Irritability or grogginess
- Excessive sleepiness during the day
- Morning headache
- Difficulty focusing
If you are displaying the symptoms of sleep apnea, it’s important to promptly seek treatment. Over time, sleep apnea can lead to elevated blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, and other potentially serious health concerns.
How is sleep apnea treated?
Sleep apnea treatment at Scotch Institute of ENT is tailored to the individual needs of our patients. We offer a variety of treatment approaches, including:
- Custom mouthpieces that are worn during sleep to prop open the airway
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) appliances that are worn over the mouth or nose during sleep to keep the airway open using air pressure
- Sleep modifications, including switching pillows and sleep positions
- Advanced, minimally invasive procedures that address the underlying causes of sleep apnea
