Do you have problems sleeping comfortably at night? How about trouble sleeping coupled with snoring or dry throat? These are a few signs that show it is possible you have sleep apnea. If you have problems sleeping there is often a reason why, and knowing for sure if you have sleep apnea requires a visit to a professional. When living with sleep apnea in Bellflower, choking, gasping for air, daytime sleepiness, morning headaches and sore throat are all symptoms of the disorder. It is a very serious condition that, if left untreated, can have adverse effects on your body. Some health conditions associated with snoring and sleep apnea include: high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, depression and even heart failure. However, if you think you or someone you know may be suffering from this sleep disorder, there are several ways our team at Bellflower Dental Group can help. One of your options is the C-Pap, or continuous positive airway pressure, which is a device that uses air pressure to help the flow of your breathing. This device is very effective, but many patients prefer our C-Pap alternative in Bellflower because it is a smaller dental appliance.
