Sleep apnea is a potentially dangerous disorder with fairly benign symptoms such as loud snoring at night and morning headaches or daytime bouts of sleepiness. The cause? Intermittent periods throughout sleep when you actually stop breathing.
Breathing cessation, or apnea, last from seconds to nearly two minutes. When breathing resumes, the brain sense lack of oxygen and wakes you up. The snoring is loud, sometimes explosive.
In the morning, the build up of carbon monoxide in the blood causes headaches. And the lack of deep sleep can leave one drowsy, and usually grouchy, during the day.
During sleep apnea, the upper air passages in the mouth and throat are obstructed (no one is sure why). One form of treatment that has proven successful is wearing an acrylic appliance during sleep to keep air passages open. It's comfortable and easy to use. For some people it can replace the use of a CPAP.
Stop snoring now . . . call Dr. Beaver DMD at (904) 348-0164.
