Introduction: Struggling with Snoring or Sleep Apnea?
If you or your partner struggles with snoring, it’s not just a nuisance—it could be a sign of sleep apnea, a serious condition that affects your overall health. At Exhale Sinus TMJ Headache & Sleep, we offer comprehensive treatments to improve your sleep quality and eliminate snoring or sleep apnea.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This can lead to daytime fatigue, poor sleep quality, and increased risk for other health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease.
Types of Sleep Apnea
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – The most common type, caused by a blockage in the throat muscles.
- Central Sleep Apnea – A condition where your brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles controlling breathing.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
- Loud snoring
- Frequent waking during the night
- Daytime fatigue and drowsiness
- Difficulty concentrating
Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea
At Exhale Sinus TMJ Headache & Sleep, we offer several treatments for sleep apnea:
- CPAP Therapy – A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine helps keep your airways open while you sleep.
- Oral Appliances – Custom-fitted devices that reposition your jaw to keep your airway open.
- Surgical Solutions – In some cases, surgical procedures can address anatomical issues contributing to sleep apnea.
Tips for Improving Sleep Apnea Symptoms
- Lose Weight – Excess weight can contribute to sleep apnea.
- Sleep on Your Side – Sleeping on your back can worsen sleep apnea symptoms.
- Avoid Alcohol – Alcohol can relax the muscles in your throat, increasing the risk of airway obstruction.
