Snoring / Sleep Apnea
Santa Ana, CA
Sleep apnea is a disorder in which the sleeper snores and has difficulty breathing while sleeping. If you find yourself awakened by your own snoring, or if you wake up gasping for air, you may suffer from sleep apnea. Other symptoms are headaches, sore throat, and excessive sleepiness during the day. The resulting sleep deprivation caused by this disorder can be both disruptive and dangerous.
Various treatments, including dental devices, are available to treat sleep apnea. Consult the doctor about possible solutions to this potentially dangerous condition.
