Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the throat repeatedly collapses during sleep. Some amount of airway collapse while sleeping is normal, but too much can be a problem. People with untreated sleep apnea can have a long-term, increased risk for major health issues such as high blood pressure, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Signs of sleep apnea include:
Daytime sleepiness
Impotence
Irritability or mood changes
Loud snoring
Loss of concentration and memory
Periods of apnea (not breathing)
OSA is easily identified through a sleep study. These studies can be conducted at one of our Sleep Centers or in the comfort of your own home.
