Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition that makes it difficult to breathe while you sleep. Sometimes your airway can become blocked, even preventing breathing completely. When this happens, your brain attempts to wake you momentarily to help you resume breathing. Some people with OSA can go through this cycle hundreds of times every night, which leaves them exhausted the next day. If your partner notices that you snore a lot and seem to choke or gasp for breath, it may be a good idea to schedule an appointment for sleep apnea treatment in Jacksonville<\/a>.<\/section>\n

What Treatments Are Available for Sleep Apnea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the main treatments for sleep apnea is called a continuous positive airway pressure device. CPAP masks continuously circulate air into your lungs while you sleep. Unfortunately, this device is uncomfortable for many patients. The good news is that there are several alternative options for sleep apnea treatment in Jacksonville:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lifestyle changes<\/strong>: One of the first recommendations a dental professional will make is to check your lifestyle for sleep apnea risk factors. For example, smoking increases your risk of this condition. Losing some weight, skipping alcohol before bedtime and sleeping on your side may provide relief for mild OSA.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Oral dental devices<\/strong>: One of the most effective alternatives to CPAP is an oral dental device. These mandibular devices help to support your tongue, palate and jaw to keep your airway open. The best devices are customized to your mouth, providing maximum comfort and results.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Surgery<\/strong>: A final option to treat advanced OSA is surgery. These procedures can remove excess tissue to provide easier breathing at night. People who have underlying problems such as a deviated septum may turn to surgery as a way to improve breathing all day long.<\/p>\n

The best choice is one that alleviates your symptoms while making you feel as comfortable as possible. It\u2019s often possible to find Jacksonville sleep apnea treatment options that adapt to your lifestyle.
