According to recent studies, over 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder that affects breathing during sleep. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Luckily, Houston Sleep Solutions offers effective treatment options that can help you get the better night’s sleep you deserve. In this blog post, we will discuss how Houston Sleep Solutions can help you take the first steps toward a better night’s sleep.
UNDERSTANDING SLEEP APNEA:
Before discussing Houston Sleep Solution’s treatment options, let’s discuss what sleep apnea is. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes obstructed during sleep, causing disruptions in breathing. This can result in snoring, gasping, or choking sounds, and fragmented sleep. Additionally, sleep apnea can cause daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and irritability. There are two main types of sleep apnea: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Central Sleep Apnea (CSA).
HOUSTON SLEEP SOLUTIONS’ TREATMENT OPTIONS:
Houston Sleep Solutions offers a variety of treatment options for sleep apnea, including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), and Surgery. CPAP therapy involves wearing a mask over the nose and/or mouth during sleep, which delivers a continuous flow of air pressure to keep the airway open. OAT involves wearing a custom-made oral appliance that repositions the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. Surgery may be required for more severe cases of sleep apnea, such as nasal or throat surgery to remove obstructions.
BENEFITS OF TREATMENT:
Treating sleep apnea can have numerous benefits, including improved sleep quality, reduced snoring, increased energy levels, decreased risk of health complications such as heart disease and stroke, and improved cognitive function. Additionally, treating sleep apnea can lead to improved relationships with loved ones, as snoring can often cause tension in relationships.
