Sleep Apnea

If you suffer from sleep apnea, you may not feel well-rested even after a full night’s sleep. You may wake up frequently or sleep restlessly. While sleep apnea is very common, it is also very serious and can lead to life threatening consequences if it is not treated. During sleep apnea, your breathing stops and starts repeatedly. Most commonly, this is because the airway becomes obstructed. This condition is known as obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when the muscles relax and allow soft tissues to collapse over the airway. Central sleep apnea is less common and occurs when the brain fails to signal the breathing muscles. Luckily, our Huntington Beach sleep apnea treatment expert can help you find the treatment that you need.

Our expert in sleep apnea in Huntington Beach may recommend further testing if you have any typical sleep apnea symptoms, including:

• Loud snoring, which may frequently disturb the sleep of others or even your own sleep
• Chronic snoring
• Daytime sleepiness
• Waking abruptly feeling short of breath or as though you are choking
• Episodes of breathing cessation, which are witnessed by another person
• Insomnia
• Waking up with a headache, sore throat or dry mouth
• Falling asleep easily but being unable to stay asleep
• Attention or memory problems
• Falling asleep at inappropriate times during the day, such as when you are watching TV or driving

Because sleep apnea can lead to significant health problems if it is left untreated, our Huntington Beach sleep apnea treatment expert will help you decide on the best treatment for your needs. Sleep apnea treatments are used to ease daytime symptoms and help you sleep better at night.

Some of the treatment options include:

  1. Lifestyle changes
    Simple measures may be all that is needed to manage mild cases of sleep apnea. These may include quitting smoking, avoiding drinking or heavy meals late at night, losing weight and exercising more.
  2. Oral appliances
    Oral appliance therapy is performed using a specially designed oral appliance, which keeps the jaw in the proper position and maintains an open airway. Our expert in sleep apnea in Huntington Beach may recommend wearing an oral appliance alone or with other therapies.
  3. Sleep apnea machines
    Sleep apnea machines are a common treatment option, which uses air pressure to keep the airway open so that you can breathe comfortably and easily while you sleep.
  4. Surgery
    Rarely, we may recommend surgery to address structural problems.
