Sleep Apnea

Is chronic sleep apnea keeping you from feeling fresh and rested?

Looking for an alternative to CPAP?

Dr. Vareldzis provides effective sleep apnea treatment that fits into your regular routine!

When we fall asleep, our muscles relax. But people who suffer from sleep apnea get a little too relaxed. As the patient sleeps, relaxed oral tissues fall into the airway, closing off the windpipe.

If you suffer from sleep apnea, your body will actually wake itself throughout the night in order to "restart" the breathing process. This happens so quickly that you won't remember waking, but it's taking a toll on your body. Sleep apnea causes your blood oxygen levels to drop while you asleep; this prevents you from attaining adequate REM sleep, and getting the healthy night's sleep you need to feel good in the morning.

If you're battling sleep apnea you may experience:

• Chronic snoring
• Frequently waking in the night
• Memory and concentration problems
• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Dry mouth upon waking

Additionally, emerging research shows that untreated sleep apnea increases your risk of suffering from a number of whole-body health issues down the road:

• Headaches
• High blood pressure
• Cardiovascular problems
• Fibromyalgia
• Weight gain
• Diabetes
• Chronic fatigue
• Depression

The good news is that there are treatments available to help you beat sleep apnea for good!

CPAP Alternatives

Let's be honest: CPAP just doesn't work for a lot of people. The oral appliances that we use to treat sleep apnea are more convenient, more comfortable, and more affordable than traditional CPAP machines.
