Sleep Apnea Treatment Southlake
What is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major health problem facing our society. When a person suffers from sleep apnea, this means that they temporarily stop breathing throughout the night. This is often caused by the soft tissues in the mouth and throat blocking a person’s airway. As a result, a person’s body goes into panic mode, causing them to suddenly wake up so that their breathing can be restored. This is extremely stressful on the body, and in addition to causing a person to lose a lot of sleep. Sleep apnea has also been linked as a contributor to depression, weight gain, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. To combat this dangerous sleep disorder, our practice is proud to offer sleep apnea treatment in Southlake.
