We all know someone who snores and admittedly dismiss it as part of life. Unfortunately Snoring can be a symptom of a greater health concern if your loved one has sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea can cause day time tiredness which may result in motor vehicle and occupational accidents. Sleep Apnea has serious health risks such as high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks.
If you or someone you know snores there are signs and symptoms to look for:
Choking or gasping for air on waking
Feel tired or sleepy during the day
Feel like you/they have not slept at all
Have a morning headache
– or if a partner has commented that they:
snore
sound like they’re choking
have stopped breathing during sleep
Snoring has fortunately become a more common and openly discussed health concern which has lead both Medical and Dental Professionals to investigate and treat Sleep Apnea which is the cause of snoring. It’s because of the common issue that we can use less invasive treatment.
