Snoring And Sleep Apnea
Are you losing sleep because you snore? Do you think you may have sleep apnea?
Snoring is sometimes the source of jokes and laughter but more commonly, it is a source of frustration. Many times snoring is addressed due a bed partner's fatigue or discomfort, but snoring can actually be a sign of a much more serious problem for the snorer. Loud snoring and other symptoms such as frequent gaps in breathing during sleep, or not feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep, can often mean you have sleep apnea. This is a common sleep disorder that can be potentially very serious, and even life-threatening.
Nasal obstruction, chronic sinus disorders, and chronic nasal allergy are very frequent causes of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
We feature state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and our own sleep study lab to help diagnose your sleep or snoring problem.
