Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when your breathing is interrupted during sleep. If you have sleep apnea, you may not even be aware that you do. If you wake up in the morning and feel fatigued, or your partner is kicking you in the middle of the night because you are snoring too loud, it might be time to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts to discuss your treatment options.
The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea. This happens, when the airway is blocked, causing pauses in breathing and loud snoring. Sleep apnea is dangerous because it causes lack of sleep, and lack of sleep can lead to daytime sleepiness, slow reflexes, poor concentration, and even an increased risk of automobile accidents. Sleep apnea can additionally cause diabetes, heart disease, and liver problems. Because the most prominent sleep apnea symptoms occur when you’re asleep, it’s important to listen to your significant other if he or she is suggesting treatment.
