Sleep apnea refers to a breathing disorder in which a person temporarily stops breathing during sleep. Some experts believe the vast majority of people with apnea don’t even know it. The following symptoms can be caused by sleep apnea:

• Waking up unrefreshed
• Morning headaches
• Daytime sleepiness
• Mental fogginess
• Difficulty concentrating
• Waking with a dry mouth
• Loud snoring
• Nighttime sweating
• Mood changes

These symptoms result from a repeated drop in nighttime blood oxygenation, which is caused by sleep apnea. Ultimately, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to problems like atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and heart failure.

Fortunately, Dr. Khandwala is trained to address sleep apnea. With the correct treatment, you can finally get a good night’s sleep, maintain healthy oxygen levels, and wake up feeling refreshed and rested once again.
