Some Typical Questions About Sleep Apnea Treatment

Sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissues in your throat collapse during sleep, blocking airflow and momentarily stopping your breathing. These pauses, known as apneas, can happen dozens or even hundreds of times each night, depriving your body of vital oxygen. This oxygen deprivation leads to persistent fatigue, brain fog, and serious long-term effects on your heart and overall health.

If you’ve ever wondered about your sleep quality, ask yourself: Do I snore, or has my partner mentioned it? Have they ever moved to another room for better rest? Has anyone noticed me stop breathing during sleep? Do I struggle with daytime fatigue or feel like I could easily doze off when sitting still? Do I feel drowsy or have trouble staying awake during my morning or evening commute? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could be dealing with sleep apnea—but you’re not alone, and we’re here to help.

If you’re struggling with snoring or suspect you have sleep apnea, Foothill Sleep Solutions makes finding answers simple. We start with a comprehensive consultation to assess your symptoms, address your concerns, and determine if further testing is needed. If an oral appliance is the right solution for you, we take quick, easy impressions to create a custom appliance tailored to your needs. Once your appliance is ready, we ensure a perfect fit with follow-up adjustments for optimal comfort and effectiveness. With our personalized sleep apnea solutions, you can finally experience deep, restful sleep and wake up refreshed, energized, and ready for the day.

Learn More About Sleep Apnea

What does Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Mean?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is more than just disrupted sleep—it can have widespread effects on your overall well-being. Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, morning or frequent headaches, difficulty concentrating, and chronic fatigue. Risk factors such as obesity, enlarged tonsils, and nasal congestion can increase the likelihood of developing sleep apnea, however we see many people not in these risk categories. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and an increased risk of stroke.

Snoring
Snoring occurs when airflow is obstructed during sleep, creating vibrations in the throat and nasal passages. While often considered harmless, chronic snoring can disrupt sleep quality and is frequently linked to sleep apnea. If an underlying anatomical issue is suspected, we may refer patients to an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restful sleep. Poor sleep quality can lead to excessive daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Insomnia can have many contributing factors, including stress, anxiety, and medical conditions, all of which will be assessed during your visit. Treatment options may include behavioral therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, sleep aid medications.

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
Restless Leg Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes an overwhelming urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as itching, tingling, or crawling feelings. Symptoms typically worsen at night, making it difficult to fall and stay asleep. Certain medications can increase the risk of developing RLS, and identifying potential triggers is an important step in managing the condition.

Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder that disrupts the body’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden muscle weakness or loss of control (cataplexy), hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. If narcolepsy is suspected, we will coordinate a specialized sleep study for diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan to help manage symptoms effectively.

You and your loved ones don’t have to endure exhaustion, snoring, or restless nights. Left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious health consequences—but you don’t have to live with it. Say goodbye to snoring and fatigue—request your consultation to see us today!
