Sleep Apnea Treatment in Fishers, IN
Do you feel groggy all day, every day or wake up with headaches on a regular basis? Has your partner told you that you snore at night or gasp for breath while you're sleeping? If so, you may have obstructive sleep apnea, a common but serious condition that affects your breathing.
Diagnosing Sleep Apnea
Unfortunately, many people never receive a proper diagnosis for their sleep apnea or seek treatment. However, getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan is vital because sleep apnea comes with many health risks, including:
- Higher stroke risk
- Diabetes
- Heart failure
When diagnosing sleep apnea, your doctor or dentist will first ask you what symptoms you're experiencing.
In addition to the symptoms we mentioned above, patients often experience the following:
- Sore throat or dry mouth upon waking
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping through the night
- Confusion or inability to focus during the day
If you suspect sleep apnea, please contact your physician or our helpful team. Dr. Jeremy Jones, DMD, is a skilled dentist and Dawson Academy-trained dental professional who can diagnose and treat your sleep apnea at Dentistry of Fishers.
