Sleep apnea is a blockage of the upper airway during sleep that interrupts breathing. Many patients are unaware they even have sleep apnea until someone else tells them that they are snoring heavily, one of the tell-tale signs of the disorder. Although loud snoring does not indicate that a patient has sleep apnea, it may be a sign.
If you're searching for trusted sleep apnea treatment in Raleigh, NC or Cary, we offer personalized care designed to help you breathe easier and sleep better.
Many people suffer from the following symptoms of sleep apnea:
These signs of sleep apnea can interfere with your quality of life and may increase your risk of other health conditions, including heart disease and high blood pressure.
Many sleep apnea sufferers are overweight due to the excess weight in their neck areas that hinders the breathing passage. It is also more common in people with thick necks or smaller airways in the nose, throat or mouth areas.
In addition to these physical factors, family history and external factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, or the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases are related.
Other causes may include nasal congestion, sleeping on your back, or structural issues with the jaw or throat that cause the airway to collapse while you sleep. Understanding what causes sleep apnea is the first step toward finding an effective treatment.
Sleep apnea can be diagnosed through an overnight sleep study called a PSG. This is essentially the gold standard of sleep tests. There are also at-home diagnostic systems that can be used but the proper diagnosis is a critical piece of the treatment so a professional evaluation is recommended.
Before you get a sleep test we can evaluate you in our Cary office to determine if a PSG is right for you.
Wondering how to tell if you have sleep apnea? A sleep study can monitor how often your body stops breathing, how much oxygen you're getting, and how often your sleep is disrupted. All of this helps us diagnose sleep apnea accurately.
Once it is determined that you have sleep apnea we can then work to help you treat it. The sleep apnea treatments available vary and depend greatly on the severity of your disorder. Dr. Ferzli will be able to help you determine what treatments or sleep apnea therapies are right for you.
Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, custom oral appliances to help keep your airway open at night, CPAP therapy, or surgical interventions in more severe cases. Our team focuses on providing the most effective and comfortable solution for your needs.
