FAQs
About Sleep Medicine
Sleep apnea is a condition where your airway becomes blocked during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing. Left untreated, it can lead to significant health risks.
Symptoms include:
- Loud, persistent snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
- Morning headaches
Sleep apnea doesn’t just rob you of rest; it can increase your risk for serious health conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression.
Ignoring sleep apnea can affect your health and well-being.
Risks include:
- High blood pressure: Repeated oxygen drops during sleep increase adrenaline, leading to hypertension.
- Stroke and heart disease: Poor oxygen levels strain your cardiovascular system.
- Mood and cognitive health: Fatigue and untreated apnea are linked to depression, impaired memory, and Alzheimer’s risk.
Treating sleep apnea improves both your nightly rest and long-term health.
OAT uses a custom-fitted device to keep your airway open by gently positioning your jaw forward.
Many insurance plans cover OAT for sleep apnea. Our team is happy to help you navigate your benefits and the insurance process.
Common signs include persistent snoring, waking up gasping for air, feeling tired during the day despite a full night’s sleep, and difficulty concentrating. If you or a loved one notices these symptoms, it may be time for an evaluation.
Yes! Oral appliances are effective for reducing or eliminating snoring, even for individuals without sleep apnea. They’re a great option for improving sleep quality for both you and your partner.
