Get Treatment for Sleep Apnea
“Sleep apnea” is a pause in breathing during sleeping. This happens when the airway becomes partially or completely obstructed. Obstructed airways can cause snoring, choking, and pauses in breathing. Sleep apnea can be mild to severe, is an ongoing (chronic) health condition and tends to get worse over time (progressive).
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissues (tongue and soft palate) in the oral cavity relax and flop onto the back of the throat during sleep. This blocks the airway, which can result in loud snoring and interrupted sleep. OSA affects approximately 18 million adults in the United States. Untreated OSA can lead to serious medical complications, including heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.

Untreated snoring becomes worse over time and may develop into OSA. Untreated OSA makes existing health conditions worse and harder to control as well as increasing the likelihood of developing serious health conditions such as:
- Hypertension
- Stroke
- Heart Attack
- Diabetes
- Anxiety
- Depression
