Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to a minute and often cause loud snoring, gasping, and restless sleep. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue. At Revere Health, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment options to help patients achieve restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Types of Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common type, caused by a physical blockage of the airway due to relaxed throat muscles.
Central Sleep Apnea: Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Loud snoring
Gasping for air during sleep
Morning headaches
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Difficulty concentrating
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and may include:
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): A device that uses gentle air pressure to keep airways open.
Oral Appliances: Custom-fitted devices that help maintain an open airway.
Lifestyle Changes: Weight loss, avoiding alcohol, and sleeping on your side.
