Low-quality sleep caused by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbussleepcenter.com\/what-is-sleep-apnea.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sleep apnea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can take a toll on your overall quality of life. Unfortunately, many people do not recognize the symptoms of this condition in order to receive the sleep apnea treatment in Columbus that could help. Keep reading to learn about the symptoms of sleep apnea to ensure you or your loved one gets treatment sooner, rather than later!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What to Look Out For<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The warning signs of sleep apnea may go unrecognized for months or even years. That\u2019s because they can resemble those associated with other conditions affecting sleep. Additionally, a sleep apnea sufferer may not recognize their own shallow wake-slumber cycle &#8212; it is often a partner that first realizes there is an issue that requires professional intervention. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure you watch out for the following symptoms of sleep apnea to get treatment ASAP. The warning signs include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chronic snoring that is loud enough to disturb a partner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waking with a start after a long pause of not breathing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waking up in the morning with a sore or dry throat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nighttime teeth grinding or jaw clenching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Waking frequently to urinate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exhaustion or fatigue during the day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Difficulty completing daily tasks <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feeling like you need to drink lots of coffee to stay awake most days<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daytime confusion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Snoring vs. Sleep Apnea<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the chief warning signs of sleep apnea is the chronic snoring that occurs as a result of the blocked airway. However, not all snoring is the kind that indicates sleep apnea. We all experience this noisy nighttime occurrence from time to time &#8212; but the problematic sort of snoring is that which happens every single night and is loud enough to wake up a partner or anyone sleeping nearby. If you or a loved one experience this type of disruptive snoring, do not hesitate to find out whether you require treatment by seeking a diagnosis. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Treatment Can Help<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you receive a sleep apnea diagnosis, don\u2019t fret &#8212; that just means a solution is in sight. Visiting a sleep dentist will allow you to get started on the most effective treatment right away. Often, the solution is found in a removable oral appliance. This is a customized device that works by pulling the lower jaw into the proper position, preventing its collapse and keeping your airway clear throughout the night. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter the answer for your sleep apnea, the key is finding a diagnosis as soon as possible. That\u2019s the best way to feel better day to day and also enjoy better overall health with a full night\u2019s sleep! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meet the Practice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Eric Buck at The Columbus Sleep Center offers excellence in sleep dentistry.
