Improve Your Health with a Sleep Apnea Treatment Plan
About Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This is the most common form of sleep apnea and occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax and block the airways. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be hazardous to your health since you are suffering the effects of not breathing properly while you sleep. You may wake up with headaches, always feel like you have not had a good night’s sleep, or find it difficult to stay awake and alert all day. Dr. Vivek Amin and Dr. Tamara Strouth can help patients with sleep apnea so that sufferers can restore their health.
A possible Outcome Of Tongue-Tie and Mouth Breathing
A tongue-tie can commonly develop into mouth breathing. Patients who constantly breathe through their mouths can develop troubling and long-term health problems such as sleep apnea.
