Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder that affects your breathing while you sleep.

Some common symptoms of sleep apnea include:

  • Loud snoring
  • Abrupt awakenings
  • Waking up with constant dry mouth
  • Morning headaches
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty staying awake during the day

If you have experienced these symptoms, you may have a serious sleep disorder. If you have a sleep disorder that goes untreated you are at risk for:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Stroke
  • High blood pressure
  • Low performance at work

There are three types of sleep apnea that a person could have:

  • Sleep apnea-obstructive
  • Sleep apnea-central
  • Combination of central and obstructive

Your physician will order a sleep study to help diagnose your sleep disorder. One of the treatments for Sleep Apnea is wearing a device at night called CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.
