Wonderful news! Sleep apnea sufferers now have an alternative to the CPAP machine.

Obstructive SLEEP APNEA is the failure to breathe during sleep brought about by an obstruction of the upper airway in the presence of continued efforts to breathe.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs for reasons similar to snoring. As the muscles of your tongue and throat relax during sleep, the soft tissues ‘slump’ against the back of your throat. This creates a physical OBSTRUCTION, not allowing air to enter the lungs for a period of time. The duration of an apneic event can vary.

Struggled breathing resulting from Obstructive Sleep Apnea can result in the following:

• Tooth wear from tooth grinding and acid reflux
• Heart problems (including high blood pressure)
• Memory problems
• Morning headaches
• Daytime Tiredness (including drowsy driving)

If you experience any of the above, you may suffer from sleep apnea.
