If this happens often, you may need sleep apnea treatment in Weatherford. But first, your dentist stresses the importance of having a sleep test done. As you read on, you\u2019ll learn why this is necessary along with some helpful facts about sleep apnea, so you can soon get the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weatherfordsleep.com\/dental-office-screening.html\">rest<\/a> you need.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n<p>Sleep apnea is a condition that involves the repeated interruption of your breathing while you sleep. The most common type is Obstructed Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is brought on by muscles in the throat relaxing while you sleep, which causes the partial blockage of your airway.<\/p>\n<p>When oxygen isn\u2019t allowed to pass through, your brain sends a signal alerting you to wake-up, which leaves you feeling lethargic the next day.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Symptoms to Lookout for<\/h2>\n<p>There are other signs of OSA that you should pay attention to, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Irritability<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Throat Soreness<\/li>\n<li>Morning Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Inability to Concentrate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s important that if you notice any of these symptoms, you reach out to Dr. Romack. Because she\u2019s experienced with working with doctors and specialists, she can help you navigate the waters to get well.<\/p>\n<h2>Why a Sleep Study Test is Important<\/h2>\n<p>Along with alerting your dentist about your symptoms, it\u2019s important to reach out to your primary care physician so that he or she can be kept in the loop. Dr. Romack can then equip you with a home sleep testing monitor that will provide a detailed report to show whether you need treatment, which can be reviewed by your doctor.<\/p>\n<p>By taking this approach, the guessing will be eliminated, and you can be sure to get the expert care you need. If you\u2019re deemed eligible, Dr. Romack can custom-craft an oral appliance to be worn while you sleep that will move your jaw forward and help to keep your airway open.<\/p>\n<h2>The Dangers of Ignoring Your Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not a good idea to ignore the symptoms of sleep apnea. It can be detrimental to your health and lead to high blood pressure, stroke or heart attack. Furthermore, your body\u2019s immune system can be compromised, leaving you vulnerable to a host of illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if you have noticed any of the above symptoms, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Romack and the staff at Weatherford Dental Sleep Medicine. By receiving expert care, you\u2019ll soon be back to functioning normally and feeling much better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Deborah A.
