Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Many people are unaware they have the condition until a bed partner notices loud snoring, gasping during sleep, or episodes of stopped breathing.

Common symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, poor concentration, fatigue, irritability, and high blood pressure.

Untreated sleep apnea increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and motor vehicle accidents related to excessive sleepiness.

We evaluate patients for sleep apnea, coordinate sleep testing when indicated, review treatment options including CPAP therapy, and monitor long-term progress. Proper treatment often results in improved energy, better sleep quality, and significant long-term health benefits.
