Sleep Apnea

Comfortable and Proven Sleep Apnea Treatment in Raleigh, NC

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea causes breathing to stop and restart periodically while you sleep. It occurs when your upper respiratory airways become blocked, or your breathing muscles do not receive the appropriate instructions from your brain. Sleep apnea can cause chronic weariness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Sleep apnea is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Obese people and heavy drinkers are more likely to develop sleep apnea. The same is true for people with heart disease or high blood pressure. Many people with sleep apnea are unaware of their condition and do not understand why they are constantly fatigued and sluggish.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea can affect people of all ages, especially adults between 40 and 60. The following are the common symptoms of sleep apnea:

  • Headache in the morning
  • Loud snoring
  • Having difficulty concentrating all day.
  • Frequent awakenings during sleep
  • Sleepiness throughout the day
  • Fatigue
  • Emotional changes
