Does your significant other have to resort to placing a pillow over his or her ears at night while slumbering? Your local dentist says these may be signs that you are suffering from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleeprehab.com\/snoring.html\">sleep<\/a> apnea and need to be treated. Learn more about this condition and how you can get the relief you need.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Snoring?<\/h2>\n<p>Studies show that almost half of the adults in America are occasional snorers, while 25 percent do it habitually. It\u2019s more common in men and overweight people and is the result of an obstruction in one\u2019s breathing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the more specific reasons that people snore:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Poor Muscle Tone<\/strong> \u2013 When there is poor tone in the tongue or throat muscles, either the tongue relaxes and falls back into the throat, blocking the airway, or the throat muscles relax and somewhat collapse, resulting in restricted airflow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being Overweight <\/strong>\u2013 When a person is overweight, there is more soft tissue in the neck that can restrict the flow of oxygen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Obstructed Nasal Passageway <\/strong>\u2013 A stuffy or blocked nose requires more effort to pull air through it. The result can be that your throat then acts like an exaggerated vacuum, creating the loud snoring sound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The common trait of all of the above is restricted airflow. One of the results of this can be obstructed sleep apnea (OSA).<\/p>\n<h2>What is OSA?<\/h2>\n<p>Obstructive sleep apnea is the result of the constant interruption of your airflow while sleeping. As a result, you partially awaken throughout the night in your body\u2019s attempt to oxygenate itself. Quite commonly, the people who suffer from this condition will also be loud snorers.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a heavy snorer, it\u2019s important that you be evaluated for possible sleep apnea in Garland. Here are some of the signs to take notice of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Witnessed episodes of breath pauses or apnea during sleep<\/li>\n<li>Daytime sleepiness or fatigue<\/li>\n<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Heart disease<\/li>\n<li>History of a stroke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can This be Treated?<\/h2>\n<p>The first step to getting help is to participate in a sleep study to see if you have a sleep breathing disorder (SBD). This will allow your dentist to determine the proper course of action to get you the best night\u2019s sleep possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an SBD, he can fit you with an oral appliance to be worn at night. It will lessen the vibrations that contribute to airway obstruction and will also help to position your jaw so that your throat doesn\u2019t collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the help you need starts by reaching out to your local professional for dental sleep medicine in Garland.
