LOS ANGELES, CA, December 15, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Getting a good night's sleep is a top priority for many people today. Everyday busyness, stress, and other responsibilities can cut into sleep time, but many people have other more insidious problems that are preventing them from getting the sleep they need. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that can leave people feeling tired, depressed, and unwell even after they have had eight or more hours of sleep. Sleep Solution Doctors now offers these patients and others easy ways to connect with the best sleep apnea doctors for their needs.
Sleep apnea is characterized by many different symptoms, including:
- Snoring loudly
- Feeling tired in the morning
- Waking with a headache, sore throat, or dry mouth
- Waking frequently to use the bathroom
- Feeling easily distracted during the day or being accident-prone
Two types of sleep apnea exist: obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type and occurs when the tissues in the mouth and throat relax and restrict or block airflow. Central sleep apnea is caused by the brain's failure to signal the muscles to breathe. Sleep Solution Doctors has doctors who deal with both conditions and can provide patients with the customized treatment plans they need.
Without treatment, sleep apnea can lead to more significant health problems, including depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and an increased risk of death. Treatment options can range from the conservative, such as lifestyle changes, to more moderate options, such as CPAP therapy or oral appliance therapy. In rare cases, surgery may be necessary to correct physical abnormalities that may be causing or contributing to the problem.
