Sleep Apnea Treatment

Snoring and sleep apnea can have serious health-related consequences. Sleep apnea involves multiple episodes during which not enough air flows through the respiratory tract when we sleep. The backwall of the throat and tongue block the free flow of air; when the airway is blocked, oxygen is temporarily not supplied to the lungs and the brain is devoid of oxygen. The first symptoms of sleep apnea is loud snoring.

Sleep apnea may cause:
