How To Quit Snoring With A Chicago Sleep Medicine Center

By Jorel Tuyor


Many people wake up each night with a partner pushing them or tapping them on the shoulder. Snoring can become a real problem and you may have to sleep in separate rooms. However, separate sleeping arrangements do not solve the problem and it is best to visit your sleep medicine center. They offer effective Chicago insomnia therapy and help with snoring.

Maybe you snore sometimes. It could be caused by a stuffy nose or you might have a cold or sinus condition. However, if you snore every night, you probably are suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. The word "apnea" refers to no breathing as you actually quit breathing many times during the night.

Apnea is caused when your airways are completely collapsed as you sleep. They also may be partially collapsed and this creates a vibration noise that results in snoring. However, snoring is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems that sleep apnea can cause.

When your throat is obstructed while sleeping, your brain sends an emergency signal to awaken you, so you can breathe again. This might happen multiple times all night long. Each time you wake up it becomes harder to get back to sleep and the sleep you receive will not be of high quality. In fact, many snorers are tired upon awakening and have very little energy during the day. In addition, sleep apnea makes you more likely to develop high blood pressure, strokes, or heart attacks.

When you visit a sleep medicine center you have professional help. You are examined and tested to determine why you snore. Most people find that CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines eliminate snoring, because they keep airways open. This lets you get the kind of sleep that you need.

Obesity is a major cause of apnea and CPAP oral appliances with weight management can be very effective. However, some people may require surgery to remove tissue in the throat. Your Chicago sleep center offers complete care and diagnostics for all kinds of sleep disorders.
