In recent years, the term sleep apnea has crept into health news by the general public. The most significant component of sleep apnea that has captured attention is its association with loud snoring, a common complaint of a bed partner. Although sleepiness and fatigue are often common symptoms of sleep apnea, recent research has linked many other health problems and consequences to sleep apnea.

Have you experienced some or all of these symptoms?

Then you might be at risk of having Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Sleep apnea, a potentially life-threatening condition, is one of the most under diagnosed sleep disorders. Sleep apnea is a treatable disorder in which a person stops breathing, often hundreds of times, during the night.

Obstructive sleep apnea (O.S.A.), the more common form of sleep apnea is associated with obstructions of airflow to the lungs during sleep due to a collapse of the upper airway at the back of the throat.

Central apnea is a less common form of sleep apnea in which the brain fails to signal the breathing muscles. Mixed sleep apnea is associated with having both central and obstructed events.
