Sleep Apnoea in Hervey Bay
Interrupted sleep, loud snoring, and constant fatigue may all be signs of sleep apnoea. This condition affects breathing during sleep, reducing oxygen flow and disrupting rest. Fortunately, a custom oral device can offer a simple, non-invasive solution for better rest and improved wellbeing.
Defining Sleep Apnoea and Its Impact
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissues at the back of the throat relax too much during your slumber, partially or entirely blocking the airway. This may lead to frequent awakenings, gasping for air, and excessive daytime drowsiness. Left untreated, it can contribute to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
Recognising the Symptoms and Risks
Common signs you have OSA include:
- Loud, persistent snoring
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
How an Oral Sleep Device Could Help
A custom oral sleep device offers a proven alternative to CPAP therapy for those with mild to moderate OSA. This small, comfortable device gently repositions the jaw forward, keeping the airway open and allowing for uninterrupted breathing throughout the night.
The benefits of using a custom oral appliance include being comfortable and easy to wear, compact and travel-friendly, silent and non-intrusive, and clinically proven to provide a higher quality night’s rest and reduce symptoms.
