Problem / Solution

Sleep Apnea can lead to hypertension, heart attack, stroke, depression, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness.

There is a better solution –

• Do you hate the noise?
• Do you feel like you’re wearing a gas mask?
• Do you hate the inconvenience?
• Does it drive your partner crazy?
• Are you on of the 55% who can’t tolerate CPAP?

Sleep Apnea is the cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds at least five times an hour.

Problems with CPAP include face breakouts from the straps, eye and nasal irritation, mouth dryness, runny nose and sore throat. People with allergies, people who tend to breath through their mouths, and people who sleep on their stomachs may find CPAP treatment difficult.

Treatment:

• May be as simple as a lifestyle change such as weight loss or change in diet.
• A Specially designed oral appliance which prevents airway blockage.
• Severe cases may require surgery.
