Sleep Apnea Treatments

Sleep apnea affects every facet of your life, including your health. People with sleep apnea are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular complications, including heart attacks and strokes. Sleep apnea also puts you in danger of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

Your health also affects the severity of your sleep apnea, in turn. Excess weight can make sleep apnea worse by causing pressure in your throat as you sleep, but it's hard to exercise when you don't have the energy. Treatment can revitalize you, so you can turn your life around.

Seeking diagnosis and treatment for sleep apnea is important not only for your ability to function throughout the day but for your bodily well-being, too.

Snoring is one of the most noticeable signs of sleep apnea. While the person affected may not realize they have sleep apnea, it's often a partner who alerts them.

But snoring isn't a surefire indication of sleep apnea. Many people's snoring doesn't directly affect their health, but it can affect your life in other ways. Snoring often leads sleep-deprived partners to retreat to a different room for decent rest.

An oral appliance is also an effective solution to stop snoring so you and your partner can get a good night's rest. Dr. Henrichsen can ensure you're taken care of.
