Sleep Apnea Treatment in Brampton

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder whereby breathing repeatedly stops and starts. You may have sleep apnea if you snore loudly and you feel tired even after a full night's sleep.

There are two main types of sleep apnea:

• Obstructive sleep apnea: the more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax
• Central sleep apnea: this occurs when your brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing

Symptoms of sleep apnea can include:

• Excessive sleepiness throughout the day (hypersomnia)
• Loud snoring
• Episodes of breathing cessation during sleep witnessed by another person
• Waking up abruptly and experiencing shortness of breath
• Waking up with a sore throat or dry mouth
• Headaches in the morning
• Insomnia and other sleep problems
