Sleep Apnea Therapy
People who snore may not realize that snoring might signal a more serious issue—sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when breathing is obstructed while you’re sleeping. Your breathing actually pauses for longer periods of time than normal repeatedly throughout the night. Sleep apnea symptoms include chronic fatigue, frequent waking, and snoring. There are different types of sleep apnea, but the majority of cases are obstructive sleep apnea caused by the relaxation of soft tissues in your mouth and throat.
