How Sleep Apnea Affects Your Health
Sleep apnea is a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These pauses in breathing can cause disrupted sleep patterns, making it difficult to achieve deep, restorative rest. Sleep apnea is a serious condition that, when left untreated, can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and a host of other health problems. Many people are unaware they have sleep apnea until a loved one points out the signs. There are numerous symptoms commonly associated with sleep apnea, such as:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Morning headaches
- Waking up gasping for air
- Daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating
- Irritability or mood changes
Our Process Tailored to You
We believe that every patient's journey to better sleep should be tailored to their unique needs. Our sleep apnea process begins with a thorough examination and detailed discussion of your symptoms. We provide convenient at-home sleep study equipment to gather comprehensive data overnight.
After your doctor or a sleep specialist has analyzed your results, Dr. Calleros will walk you through your diagnosis with clarity and compassion. We then customize a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle, and goals. Every step is designed to be comfortable, empowering, and supportive. Our priority is helping you achieve healthier sleep and a better quality of life.
Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Options
After evaluating your sleep study results, we will spend time discussing all available options with you. Our approach is designed to be collaborative, empowering you with knowledge and confidence in your choices. We consider your lifestyle, health goals, and personal preferences when recommending solutions. Our treatment options may include:
- Custom Oral Appliances: Comfortable devices worn during sleep to keep airways open.
