Why a Sleep Apnea Diagnosis Can Save Your Life!

Sleep apnea is one of the most undiagnosed conditions around.

For those who are not familiar with what sleep apnea is, its’ most common form-obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes patients to stop breathing periodically several times throughout the night or makes their breathing so shallow that the blood cannot receive sufficient oxygen. In severe cases, the person can wake up dozens of times in their sleep, without actually being aware of it and thus leaving them tired and fatigued on waking up in the morning coupled with headaches .

The best part of treatment by sleep apnea dentist is that even non-drug treatment methods are very effective in controlling the symptoms and even a few nights of treatment can incredibly change their lives for the better.

Take a simple test to determine if you or a loved one may be suffering from sleep apnea-

1-Do you snore loudly?

2-Do you feel tired during the day?

3-Are you older than 50?

4-Is your BMI greater than 35?

5-Are you a male?
