What causes snoring?
Sleep apnea is a medical condition where someone has one or more pauses in breathing (or shallow breaths) while sleeping.
"We do home sleep studies," said Veronica Morillos, a sleep technician at The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring. "We can get results within 24 hours to find out what's going on."
Instead of using CPAP therapy for sleep apnea, The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring offers the oral appliance shown below.
The great thing about the appliance is that you still have a full range of motion, can talk and drink water while using it.
Essential sleep apnea facts to keep in mind:
- Sleep apnea affects over 18 million Americans
- Sleep apnea can affect your heart
- Sleep apnea is more than just snoring
- Sleep apnea can be treated
- 80% of Americans have sleep apnea
"Most medical insurance providers and Medicare cover sleep-related treatments," said Morillos.
