Many people have a difficult time falling asleep, but those who suffer from a condition known as sleep apnea, can really suffer. Sleep apnea is a health issue where sufferers will temporarily stop breathing as they sleep. It may only be for a second or two but might be much longer. Our expert in sleep apnea in North Hollywood sees many patients who suffer from this condition and treatment is available. Could you or your loved one be suffering from sleep apnea? If you are, you may notice one or many of the common symptoms of sleep apnea.
First, snoring in a loud and irregular manner is a symptom of sleep apnea. Sufferers of sleep apnea may also gasp in their sleep as their body tries to get air. Another symptom of sleep apnea is unusual sleeping behavior like flailing the arms or excessive kicking.
There are also symptoms that can occur during the day. For instance, you may be extremely tired, even though you had several hours of sleep the night before. Many sufferers of sleep apnea also tend to wake up with a headache. Finally, you might feel depressed or unable to concentrate.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact our North Hollywood dentist for treatment options.
