    Obstructive Sleep Apnea - Symptoms

    Obstructive sleep apnea—are you a sufferer?

    According to the British Lung Foundation, an estimated 1.5 million people in the UK have obstructive sleep apnea, and 80% of them don't even know it.

    Sleep apnea is a condition in which, due to physiological or neurological problems, your oxygen supply is periodically cut off while you sleep.

    It can be difficult to diagnose sleep apnea because you are asleep when you experience the episodes.

    Obstructive sleep apnea is the type that is caused by a physical blockage in the air passage when soft tissues collapse and obstruct breathing.

    There are some signs that you can look for during your waking hours to find out if you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA):

    • Family members or sleep partners tell you that you snore
    • Fatigue and sleepiness during the day
    • Waking up with headache
    • Waking up with a dry mouth
    • Difficulty concentrating during the day
    • Occasionally waking up at night feeling short of breath
    The Hidden Danger Of Snoring

    The hidden danger of snoring

    Heavy snorers are six times more likely to have a heart attack in their sleep, according to a study cited by the NHS.

    Snoring is often viewed as nothing more than an embarrassment or an annoyance

    However, it can also be a symptom of OSA. Long-term OSA sufferers who do not receive treatment can later develop dangerous conditions such as:

    • Drug-resistant high blood pressure
    • Cardiovascular disease
    • Memory problems
    • Obesity
    Snoring is not just an irritating quirk that you can afford to ignore.
    OSA And Snoring Solutions in Golders Green, London

    OSA and snoring solutions at Lotus Dental Clinic

    At Lotus Dental Clinic, we cannot diagnose you with OSA. But we do have the responsibility to let you know our observations and we will refer you to specialists who can help if necessary.
    • You need to replace one or more missing teeth
    • You need to crown multiple teeth in a row, and one of them is due for extraction
    • You need to brace up the gap in your smile to prevent other teeth from shifting
    • You need to restore multiple dental implants (up to a full arch)

    We also want to keep you informed of your options for managing a snoring problem which might be connected to OSA.

    Instead of immediately investing in an unwieldy CPAP machine, you can try a discreet and custom-fit oral appliance called the ProSomnus® Sleep Device. Resembling a clear aligner, this device keeps your jaw propped forward to prevent the collapse of soft tissue, which causes snoring.
