Sleep apnea
Say good-bye to snoring and interrupting your sleep… with no mask!
Savings with I love my dentist up to 75% compared to US.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common breathing disorder while you´re asleep. It´s characterized by recurrent breathing interruptions that can last up to 10 seconds. These episodes are termed “apneas” and happen when the upper airway is partially or completely blocked during sleep. The obstruction demands more oxygen supply and the chest muscles work harder to meet that demand.
The causes for sleep apnea may vary from the person´s physical structure to other more severe medical conditions, and if not treated properly, it may lead to huge effects on your health, such as headaches, depression, strokes, heart failure, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
