Sleep Apnea And Loud Snoring - Help Is Now Available At Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates
Sleep
apnea is a potentially dangerous disorder in the Louisville area with fairly benign symptoms
such as loud snoring at night, and morning headaches or daytime bouts of
sleepiness. The cause? Intermittent periods throughout sleep when you
actually stop breathing.Breathing cessation, or apnea, lasts from seconds to nearly a minute. When breathing resumes, the brain senses lack of oxygen and wakes you up. The snoring is loud, sometimes explosive. (Call us at Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates for complete details.)
In the morning, the build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood causes headaches. And the lack of deep sleep can leave one drowsy and usually grouchy, during the day.
During sleep apnea, the upper air passages in the mouth and throat are obstructed (no one is sure why). One form of treatment that has proven successful is wearing an acrylic appliance during sleep to keep air passages open. It's comfortable and easy to use. Other patients can benefit from various surgical procedures to treat sleep apnea.
For more information regarding sleep apnea please call Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates at (502) 459-8012.
