Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apneas, can lead to fragmented sleep and decreased oxygen levels in the blood. Common symptoms include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and morning headaches.

Importance of Treatment

Effective treatment of sleep apnea is crucial for improving overall health and quality of life. Untreated sleep apnea can contribute to serious conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help manage symptoms and reduce associated health risks.
