Don’t Sleep on Addressing Your Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious medical condition characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep - sometimes hundreds of times throughout the night. These interruptions in breathing can cause strain for your heart and disrupt your sleep cycle. Left untreated, sleep apnea increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes.

Taking a Closer Look at Snoring

If you find yourself snoring regularly, don't underestimate the importance of seeking guidance from your SFENTA sleep doctor. During your consultation, your physician will use an endoscope to carefully examine your nasal passages, mouth, throat, and neck. If sleep apnea is the likely diagnosis, your doctor might recommend a sleep study to gather more information.

Effective Treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Available Now

For many cases of obstructive sleep apnea, lifestyle modifications are the initial step. These adjustments may include weight loss, increased physical activity, moderating alcohol intake, quitting smoking, and addressing allergies. Your doctor will work with you to find the right treatment for your goals and lifestyle.

CPAP

The most common medical intervention for obstructive sleep apnea involves the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. This device ensures that your airways remain open, preventing OSA episodes and snoring.

We go beyond the standard by not only providing a CPAP prescription but also assisting you in selecting the most suitable machine for your needs and offering ongoing maintenance guidance.

Inspire® Therapy

An exciting breakthrough in sleep apnea treatment is Inspire® therapy. This user-friendly, FDA-approved medical device effectively addresses sleep apnea without the bulkiness and noise of traditional CPAP machines.

The Airlift™ Procedure

The Airlift™ procedure introduces a medical implant beneath the chin to stabilize and expand your upper airways, effectively reducing snoring and allowing you to get restful sleep.

Do These Symptoms Look Familiar?

While sleep apnea can affect anyone, certain factors like obesity, smoking, age, specific medical conditions, and family history can heighten the risk.

If you or someone you know is experiencing the following symptoms, it's crucial to seek the expertise of a sleep specialist otolaryngologist at SFENTA:

Interruptions in breathing during sleep
Loud and disruptive snoring
Persistent daytime fatigue
Gasping or choking episodes during sleep
