Snoring Isn’t Just an Annoyance
Often times, snoring is an indicator of a more critical health concern known as sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea experience an obstruction in their airway. The blockage prevents them from getting oxygen regularly throughout the night. Unfortunately, they often don’t even realize it. Sleep apnea is a major contributor to heart disease. Those suffering from sleep apnea experience elevated blood pressure, which is a key risk factor in experiencing heart disease and strokes. The outcome of sleep deprivation may result in serious health concerns and even premature death. Lack of sleep can have a negative impact on the function of your brain, increasing stress hormones and leading to depression.Even if you have only mild sleep apnea, being fitted with an oral appliance can result in little to no snoring. This could be a great gift to your partner!
