Sleep Apnea Explained

Sleep Apnea is a condition that causes a person to lose precious oxygen during sleep. Snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea, and is caused by air passing through a compromised airway. Sleep apnea and snoring can both cause fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and morning headaches.

There are two types of sleep apnea: obstructive and central. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type and is caused by obstruction of the airway. Central sleep apnea is less common and occurs when the brain fails to send the correct signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Multiple treatment options are available including oral appliance therapy, combination therapy, positional therapy, and even laser therapy.
