If you have never even really heard of sleep apnea, it’s hard to decide whether you need sleep apnea treatment. As you will immediately notice, this isn’t exactly something you can figure out definitively all on your own. It requires more of a mix of curiosity, a little knowledge regarding the sleep disorder itself and common symptoms, and a trip to our practice (of course). We are happy to assist you with the specifics of these steps, so you feel like you’re on the right path.

Do You Have Sleep Apnea?

The only way to figure out if you have sleep apnea and require sleep apnea treatment for sure? You’ll need to come see us, so we can examine you. As for the motivation you need to schedule that visit, you will rely on common symptoms that let you know this sleep disorder may be affecting your life. Common symptoms tend to include the following:

  • You wake up with a headache
  • You wake up with dry mouth
  • You wake up with a sore throat
  • You feel extremely tired throughout the day
  • You might assume you slept through the night
  • Your partner has heard you making a choking noise during sleep
  • You feel irritable
  • You cannot concentrate
  • You snore very loudly

Do You Need Treatment?

If we see you, examine you, and find that it appears you’re suffering from sleep apnea, then the answer is an immediate yes. You need sleep apnea treatment. Why? Well, so you can sleep soundly through the night, so you can get rid of frustrating symptoms, and so you can avoid the long-term health problems that may develop if you avoid treatment.
