If so, it\u2019s time to get some answers &#8212; and a solution. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatdentalexpressions.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Dental Expressions provides sleep apnea therapy in Freedom, WI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Recognize Sleep Apnea<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you wake up groggy and confused, even after what you think was a full night\u2019s sleep, you\u2019ve probably got a sleep breathing disorder. The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It occurs when the lower jaw and tongue collapse into the airway during sleep, partially or completely blocking the flow of oxygen to the brain. Without the air it needs, the brain sends emergency signals to wake the body up. Sufferers of OSA may have their sleep interrupted hundreds of times per night. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The signs you are suffering from sleep apnea include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic snoring that\u2019s loud enough to wake a sleeping partner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue and exhaustion throughout the day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitful sleep or waking with a jerk throughout the night, often noticed by a partner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty completing everyday tasks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression or anxiety due to lost sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not wait to seek a solution for your disrupted sleep. Left untreated, sleep apnea has been linked to a host of serious health issues, including heart attack, high blood pressure, even premature death. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk Factors For and What Causes Sleep Apnea<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OSA can affect anyone, but certain risk factors increase your risk. These risk factors for sleep apnea include being overweight or obese, as the majority of people who carry extra weight suffer from the symptoms of OSA. A large neck circumference results reduces the free flow of air throughout the night. Men are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea than women. Age also plays a factor, with most sufferers being older than 55. But with rising levels of childhood obesity in the United States, the incidence of OSA in children is increasing, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Apnea Treatment in Freedom WI<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect you are dealing with the exhausting side effects of sleep apnea, visit your medical doctor to seek a diagnosis.
