There are a lot of considerations that come into play when possible obstructive sleep apnea is on the table. You wonder about treatment. You wonder why it’s happening to you. You ask yourself if there’s something you should change to make things better. Then, there are questions related to time, which we receive quite frequently. Let’s start here, so you gain an introductory look into the foundational details of this disorder. With the basic understanding in place, you can then easily move onto plans for treatment and more!
How Often Am I Waking Up At Night?
You are probably waking up hundreds of times. Generally speaking, you can expect to stop breathing, wake up, then fall asleep again (this is how obstructive sleep apnea goes) about 30 times every hour. That’s every other minute at its worst, which is why you’re feeling so absolutely exhausted when the sleep disorder affects you.
Is This A Forever Problem?
It’s not a forever problem if you choose to do something about it. Fortunately, when obstructive sleep apnea is the culprit, you can make improvements by making lifestyle changes (which we will be happy to review with you). You can also access sleep apnea treatment from our team for the bulk of your major improvement! As a result, you can say goodbye to the issue.
