What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a common medical condition which results in the airway being blocked, this results in a lack of air and oxygen to the lungs, brain and rest of the body. Left untreated, sleep apnea can be very severe and increase a patient’s risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack and even stroke. Wondering if you or a loved one may be suffering from sleep apnea? Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Loud Snoring
- Loud Breathing
- Dry Mouth
- Sore Throat
- Headache
- Mood Swings
- Depression
- Irritability
- Weight Gain
What is CPAP?
A CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure) is a device used to treat sleep apnea which forces air into a face mask which patients wear while sleeping. The air pressure being delivered is high, overcoming obstruction of the airway. CPAP machines and masks can be quite cumbersome and require lots of cleaning and setting up.
With sleep apnea mouthguards, you can skip the annoying face mask and noisy machine and still experience relief.
