Getting proper sleep is essential, but approximately 18 million Americans experience obstructive sleep apnea, which can cause excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue, memory loss and lack of concentration.
If you are concerned you or a loved one is dealing with untreated sleep apnea, Collin County ENT can help. We will perform a home sleep study to ensure an accurate diagnosis and find the best.
Sleep Apnea Symptoms
- Snoring
- Gasping for air while sleeping
- Insomnia
- Sleepiness during the day
- Headache after waking up
- Dry mouth after sleeping
What To Expect with a Sleep Study
An in-home sleep study is one of the most convenient ways to diagnose sleep apnea. During the study, you’ll wear monitors, including a finger, wrist or chest sensor, that track your oxygen levels and breathing patterns while you sleep.
Treating Sleep Apnea
CPAP Therapy
The most common solution for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, which delivers air pressure through a mask. The goal is to keep your upper airway passages open to prevent sleep apnea and snoring.
Oral Appliance
This option moves your lower jaw forward to keep the airway passages open or hold the tongue in place to prevent it from falling backward and blocking the airway.
Inspire Therapy
Inspire is an implantable device, similar to a pacemaker, that delivers mild stimulation to the nerve that controls the movement of the tongue and airway muscles, keeping the airway open and preventing OSA.
