Sleep apnea is a very common condition that occurs when an individual’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Symptoms of this sleep disorder usually include:
- Excessive fatigue and grogginess during the day
- Heavy snoring
- Waking up suddenly and gasping for air
- Pauses in breathing during sleep
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability
- Memory loss
- Insomnia
While an extra cup of coffee and an afternoon nap can usually help you recover from a poor night’s sleep, sleep apnea requires prompt and professional treatment from a specialist. That’s because, if left untreated, this condition can lead to elevated blood pressure and an increased risk for heart attack and stroke. It can also disrupt your partner’s sleep and negatively impact your quality of life. Dr. Scotch offers a variety of solutions for sleep disorders at our practice near Zephyrhills, FL, including lifestyle adjustments, Inspire® implants, and CPAP/BiPAP devices. Surgery to remove enlarged adenoids or to adjust jaw position may be appropriate in more severe cases.
