As Many As 22 Million People Suffer from Sleep Apnea, but 80% of Cases Are Undiagnosed
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that causes the airway to become restricted while you sleep. When this happens, breathing stops and the patient’s sleep is interrupted; this can happen as often as hundreds of times an hour, even though they may not even realize it. This condition is difficult to diagnose because the most telltale symptoms only occur during sleep, but common signs and symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Chronic headaches
- Waking up gasping or short of breath
- Insomnia or difficulty staying asleep
- Snoring, snorting or choking sounds during sleep
- Exhaustion or falling asleep during the day
Treatment Options for a Better Night’s Rest
Once you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you have treatment options. Dr. Jeremy Wehrman offers treatment plans, including custom oral appliances, to help you sleep better throughout the night, and feel better throughout the day. Oral appliances are custom-designed to your mouth for a comfortable fit and work by holding the mouth in place to prevent any obstruction to the airway, so you can sleep uninterrupted.
