Do you have sleep apnea? Take our quiz to find out
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep. It can lead to a range of health issues if left untreated. At Norton Community Medical Associates, we specialize in providing comprehensive sleep apnea treatment to help patients improve their sleep quality and overall well-being.
Take Our Sleep Apnea Quiz
If you suspect you may have sleep apnea or are experiencing symptoms such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, or morning headaches, take our sleep apnea quiz to assess your risk:
Sleep Apnea Quiz
- Do you snore loudly (louder than talking or loud enough to be heard through closed doors)?
- Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during the daytime?
- Has anyone witnessed you stop breathing or choking/gasping during sleep?
- Do you have high blood pressure or a history of heart disease?
- Are you overweight or obese?
- Do you experience morning headaches?
- Do you have difficulty staying asleep?
- Do you frequently wake up with a dry mouth or sore throat?
- Do you have trouble concentrating or remembering things?
- Do you often feel irritable or moody?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, you may be at risk for sleep apnea. We recommend seeking a professional evaluation to confirm a diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options.
Treatment Options
At Norton Community Medical Associates, our experienced team of sleep specialists will work closely with you to develop a personalized sleep apnea treatment plan. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatment options may include:
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
CPAP therapy involves wearing a mask over your nose and/or mouth during sleep. It delivers a constant flow of air pressure to keep your airways open, effectively preventing apnea events.
Oral Appliances
Oral appliances are custom-fitted devices that help reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open. They are particularly useful for mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea.
Lifestyle Changes
We may recommend lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, regular exercise, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and adjusting sleep positions to help alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea.
Surgical Interventions
In severe cases of sleep apnea, surgical interventions may be necessary. Our team of surgeons specializes in various procedures aimed at reducing airway obstructions and improving breathing during sleep.
