Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder that affects roughly 12 million adults in the United States alone. This condition causes one’s breathing to stop and start while asleep.
Texas ENT Specialists have several sleep apnea treatment options available. They include:
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops and starts while one is asleep. This condition can be potentially serious, as it does cause patients to stop breathing momentarily. Sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax. When the muscles begin to relax, they can narrow or close your airway while you breathe in. This leads to difficulty breathing and can wake you up from sleep.
This is the most common type of sleep apnea that occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax.
This type of sleep apnea occurs when the brain isn’t sending the correct signals to the muscles that are responsible for breathing. This is much less common than obstructive sleep apnea.
