Signs and Risks of Sleep Apnea
For some, sleep apnea is obvious; for others, not so much. In either case, this condition, sometimes referred to as Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA, can significantly impact your lifestyle and your health. Here are several indicators and dangers of sleep apnea that you should be aware of:
- Excessive snoring
- Chronic exhaustion, fatigue, or restless sleep
- Increased risk of heart disease or heart attacks
- Increased risk of high blood pressure
- Increased risk of Type 2 diabetes
- Increased risk of metabolic syndrome
- And more
If you experience any of these symptoms, or have a history of any of these conditions that could put you at a higher risk, we encourage you to contact our ear, nose, and throat specialists in Greeley, Loveland, Fort Collins, or Cheyenne. We can diagnose your sleep apnea and create a comprehensive treatment plan that works with your schedule and budget.
CPAP Machines
CPAP machines are one of the most common treatment options for sleep apnea and are frequently recommended by our ENT doctors. These devices are worn while sleeping and are designed to open your airway at night, allowing you to sleep more safely and comfortably.
The ENT specialists at Alpine ENT have helped connect dozens of sleep apnea patients with advanced CPAP machines that relieve their condition and change their life for the better. To learn if a CPAP machine is right for you, schedule an appointment at one of our local clinics.
Excess Tissue Removal
Sometimes CPAP machines are not enough, and patients require surgical removal of excess tissue in their throats. Doing so is one method by which our ENT specialists can help open your airway at night and provide you with better sleep and lasting relief. When you schedule a consultation with one of our ear, nose, and throat doctors, we can discuss if surgery is necessary for you.
