Understanding sleep apnea is an important step toward improving your sleep quality, energy, and overall health. Explore these FAQs to learn more about sleep apnea symptoms, evaluation, and treatment options available at our Southlake office.

What Is Sleep Apnea And Why Is It A Concern?

Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly pauses or becomes shallow during sleep, reducing oxygen levels and disrupting rest. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to chronic fatigue, poor concentration, headaches, and increased health risks, making proper evaluation and treatment important.

What Are Common Signs That I May Have Sleep Apnea?

Common symptoms include loud snoring, waking up feeling unrefreshed, daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and restless sleep. Some people may not realize they stop breathing at night, which is why screening tools and professional evaluation are helpful.

How Is Sleep Apnea Evaluated And Treated?

Sleep apnea evaluation typically includes a review of symptoms, risk factors, and screening tools such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale above. Treatment options may include CPAP therapy or oral appliance therapy, depending on the severity of the condition and individual comfort and lifestyle needs.
