Sleep Apnea Therapy
Do you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning because you're just so tired? Are your days plagued with mental confusion, forgetfulness, and fatigue? You may have sleep apnea, a potentially dangerous condition that affects your slumber and may increase your risk for high blood pressure and heart problems. Dr. Stewart has advanced training in sleep medicine and provides non-surgical therapies to restore peaceful slumber and improve overall wellbeing.
Sleep apnea is characterized by repeated lapses in breathing, each lasting ten seconds or longer. Diminished airflow triggers your brain to tell your body to react - you may enter a lighter sleep stage or fully awaken. Airways that are small or that swell during sleep, as well as tongue position, may contribute to sleep apnea.
Dr. Stewart will perform a comprehensive exam and assess your symptoms, then tailor a solution to help you get the uninterrupted rest you need - and deserve. Many patients find relief with a custom-fitted oral appliance that keeps airways open to eliminate lapses in breathing and encourage peaceful, healthy slumber.
