FAQs
Q1. What causes sleep apnea?
Q2. Can sleep apnea be cured?
Sleep apnea can be managed very effectively, and in some cases, mild cases may improve with weight loss or lifestyle changes. However, most people need ongoing treatment like CPAP therapy or oral devices to keep symptoms under control.
Q3. Can sleep apnea kill you?
Q4. Is sleep apnea genetic?
Yes, genetics can play a role. If a close family member has sleep apnea, you may have a higher risk due to inherited traits like airway structure or weight tendencies.
Q5. How do you treat sleep apnea?
The most common treatment is a CPAP machine, which helps keep your airway open during sleep. Other options include oral appliances, weight loss, surgery (in rare cases), or positional therapy. Our clinic offers personalized treatment based on your sleep test results.
Q6. How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
If you snore loudly, feel tired during the day, or wake up gasping for air, you might have sleep apnea. The only way to be sure is through a sleep study, which we can provide at home or in our clinic.
Q7. Is sleep apnea dangerous if untreated?
Yes. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to heart problems, poor memory, high blood pressure, mood changes, and even increased accident risk due to fatigue.
