Sleep apnea is a potentially dangerous disorder in
the Los Angeles area with fairly benign symptoms such
as loud snoring at night, and morning headaches or
daytime bouts of sleepiness. The cause? Intermittent
periods throughout sleep when you actually stop breathing.
Breathing cessation, or apnea, lasts from seconds to nearly a minute. When breathing resumes, the brain senses lack of oxygen and wakes you up. The snoring is loud, sometimes explosive. (Call us for complete details.)
In the morning, the build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood causes headaches. And the lack of deep sleep can leave one drowsy and usually grouchy, during the day.
During sleep apnea, the upper air passages in the
mouth and throat are obstructed (no one is sure why,
even our TRUST DENTAL CARE TIJUANA).
One form of treatment that has proven successful is
wearing an acrylic appliance during sleep to keep
air passages open. It's comfortable and easy to use.
