SNORING & SLEEP APNEA
SNORING & SLEEP APNEA
Snoring and sleep apnea are both sleep-related breathing disorders that can significantly impact a person’s quality of sleep and overall health.
Snoring refers to the noisy sound produced during sleep when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is partially blocked. It occurs when the tissues in the throat vibrate and inflame due to a narrowed airway. Snoring can be disruptive to the individual and their sleep partner, and it may also indicate an underlying condition such as sleep apnea.
Habitual snorers can be at risk for serious health problems, including Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea creates several risks, including:
- Early Death
- Sleep Death
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Memory loss
- Daytime sleepiness/Tiredness
- Headaches & Neck aches
- Decreased Sex drive
Benefits of Treating

It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or sleep specialist if you or your sleep partner are experiencing persistent snoring or suspect sleep apnea. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options to help you achieve better sleep and overall well-being.
