Sleep apnea is a common sleep problem that affects millions of Americans from all walks of life. A potentially serious medical condition, sleep apnea occurs when tissues obstruct the breathing passages. It interferes with healthy breathing and sleep patterns, which can leave patients feeling tired, irritable and distracted throughout the day. If you have sleep apnea, our San Pedro sleep apnea expert can help.

Many people who have sleep apnea have not been properly diagnosed or are receiving inadequate treatment. While many people with sleep apnea are frustrated with the lack of quality sleep, this can also result in an increased risk of certain health problems. Those with sleep apnea may be more prone to high blood pressure, heart disease and depression. Those who have certain heart conditions may even be at an increased risk of death. Our expert in sleep apnea in San Pedro can evaluate your symptoms and make treatment recommendations that can help you get a better night’s sleep.

San Pedro Sleep Apnea

You may have sleep apnea if you:

• Snore loudly
• Choke or stop breathing during the night
• Wake gasping for air
• Have morning headaches
• Feel fatigued throughout the day
• Fall asleep during the day
• Are irritable or moody
• Have dry mouth or a sore throat in the morning

If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, our San Pedro sleep apnea expert can help. We can make personalized recommendations that address your symptoms and help you enjoy healthier sleep. Lifestyle recommendations can offer profound benefits. Some medications, tobacco use, excessive alcohol use and even being overweight or obese can increase the risk and severity of sleep apnea. Switching medications, reducing your alcohol use, quitting smoking and losing weight may all improve your sleep. Dental appliances may also help. These appliances are similar to dental mouth guards but are designed to align the jaw and keep the breathing passages open all night long.

When you or someone you love suffers from sleep apnea, you may feel chronically exhausted or stressed. We can help. Contact our expert in sleep apnea in San Pedro today to learn more or to schedule your appointment.
