What Causes Sleep Apnea

As you sleep and your muscles relax your tongue may block airwaves and cause snoring and other issues. Although uncomfortable, this blockage is not altogether worrisome. When the blockage becomes more prevalent and you are unable to breathe, sleep apnea may occur.

In more severe cases, you may notice that you are not waking up feeling rested after a full night’s sleep. A blockage that severely limits airflow can happen several times during your sleep. Disrupting breathing from a few seconds to more than a minute; obstructive sleep apnea can lead to more severe health problems.

These problems vary but can be linked to:

• Issues with the heart such as Arrhythmia, Hypertension, and Heartburn
• Neurological issues such as headaches and even stroke
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
• Impotence & Reduced Libido
• Diabetes & emotional issues such as irritability and Depression

There are options for consultations to determine if these issues may be caused by sleep problems related to dental health. Contact ***Insert Clinic*** to see what options we have available for you.
