TORRANCE, CA, March 08, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Snoring is often used as a punchline on sitcoms and in jokes, but for those who snore and their partners, it is a real problem. For some, snoring can also signify the presence of a potentially serious health issue: sleep apnea. For a limited time, expert in sleep apnea in Torrance, Dr. Paul Kim, and the South Bay Sleep Center are offering free consultations and X-rays to sleep apnea patients. "Our South Bay sleep apnea experts are committed to helping people like you overcome sleep apnea and other oral conditions," Dr. Kim's team says. "We can correctly determine if you suffer from sleep apnea and prove the treatment you need if you are diagnosed."
Sleep apnea is a serious problem that affects millions of Americans. Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea include:
- Loud, constant snoring
- A dry or sore throat
- Headaches in the morning
- Daytime drowsiness and fatigue
- Insomnia or restless sleep
- Gasping or choking while asleep
- Inability to concentrate
Sleep apnea is often accompanied by health problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Symptoms of central sleep apnea are similar, but this type of apnea is generally caused by other health issues rather than an obstructed airway. Torrance sleep apnea test expert, Dr. Kim may recommend a sleep apnea home test for patients with symptoms.
At Dr. Kim's sleep apnea center, patients are provided with personalized care. Sleep apnea oral appliances are a popular treatment option. They offer a comfortable, effective solution for those with mild to moderate apnea. "Similar to an orthodontic retainer, the oral appliance is worn during sleep and prevents the lower jaw, oral tissue, and tongue from blocking the throat," the team explains.
