What Is Sleep Apnea and How Is It Treated?

Sleep apnea is a common but serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night, often due to a blocked or narrowed airway. Many people with sleep apnea snore loudly, wake up gasping for air, or feel excessively tired during the day even after a full night’s rest.Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and may include lifestyle changes, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, or the use of custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep. In more complex cases, surgical intervention may be considered. Proper diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve sleep quality, energy levels, and overall health.

FAQ

Also referred to as obstructive sleep apnea or OSA, sleep apnea is a medical condition that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep, sometimes hundreds of times in a single night. Often these interruptions are so brief, men and women may not realize they have apnea until they have a sleep study, even though they may be suffering from apnea-related symptoms like snoring, daytime drowsiness or moodiness.

Not necessarily; although snoring is a common indicator of sleep apnea, it can be caused by other issues such as sinus infections. The best way to know if your snoring is related to apnea is to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Peng.

Sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissues of the throat relax and descend into the airway during sleep. Many types of sleep apnea can be effectively treated with specially designed mouth guards that help reposition the jaw to prevent the airway from becoming blocked. Apnea mouth guards must be specifically created for each patient to ensure a proper fit that won’t interrupt sleep. Continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) is another technique used to treat apnea. CPAP uses a continuous stream of air delivered through a breathing mask to help keep airways open. In a very few cases, surgery may be needed to correct any issues affecting the throat or nose.

In mild cases of apnea, palate exercises might help reduce symptoms, but most patients need additional assistance in keeping sleep apnea at bay.

Yes; studies have shown people with sleep apnea have a higher risk of cardiovascular problems including heart attack and stroke.

Custom-fitted oral appliances, similar to mouthguards, reposition the lower jaw and tongue forward, preventing airway collapse during sleep. They’re a good option for mild to moderate sleep apnea or for patients who can’t tolerate CPAP.
