How Do I Know If I Have Sleep Apnea?
If you are suffering from severe snoring, are waking up feeling exhausted, or notice extreme daytime fatigue, sleep apnea might be to blame for your symptoms. In order to start sleep apnea treatment, a general physician or sleep specialist will perform a sleep study to determine how you are being affected while you sleep. If it’s determined that sleep apnea is causing disruptions in your breathing while you sleep, you can then be referred to Dr. Bell for treatment using custom-made oral appliances or laser treatment.
I Snore, Do I Have Sleep Apnea?
While snoring can develop as a result of laboured breathing , it’s not always an indicator of sleep apnea. Snoring can be caused by a variety of different issues. However, if you are concerned you might be suffering from sleep apnea, schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms with your doctor. You may be advised to take a sleep study to rule out sleep apnea as a cause for your snoring.
Will My Sleep Apnea Go Away Without Treatment?
Unfortunately, no. While in some cases making lifestyle changes such as losing weight, quitting smoking, and refraining from drinking before bed might help decrease your symptoms, seeking professional treatment is still an important part of treating sleep apnea. Leaving your sleep apnea untreated can lead to serious risks for your health.
What Causes Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
There are a variety of different reasons you might be suffering from sleep apnea. Genetics, the size and shape of your jaw and airway, as well as certain medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, may all be factors in the development of sleep apnea. In some cases, an unhealthy lifestyle, such as being overweight, smoking, or excessive drinking may contribute to the severity of sleep apnea.
