Feel Tired All The Time? If you get a full night’s sleep and still feel tired, you may be suffering from sleep apnea.

Snoring is a milder medical condition than sleep apnea, but both occur when your airway becomes obstructed or constricted while you sleep. Because your body isn’t getting enough oxygen, you may wake up with fatigue, sleepiness, and poor concentration during the day. If left untreated, snoring and/or sleep apnea can lead to depression, weight gain, headaches, high blood pressure, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, stroke, or even heart attack.

Sadly, although sleep apnea affects more than 10 million Americans, most people with sleep apnea don’t know that they have it. Usually a bedmate is the first to notice the signs of of the condition, including loud snoring or sudden gasping outbursts of air.

To restore oxygen flow, sleep disorder specialists will often prescribe a CPAP machine, a mask worn at night to create airflow into the nose and mouth of the user. However, Dr. Lisa Marie Samaha and her sleep team are trained in offering you an alternative.

Do you have sleep apnea, but hate your CPAP?

Unfortunately, CPAP machines can feel like a cure that’s worse than the condition.Sleep apnea can be treated in Newport News with a custom-fitted oral appliance instead of a cumbersome CPAP device.

They can be cumbersome to set up and use, inconvenient to travel with, and annoying to your bedmate. And the bulky mask itself, with its long tube and constant blowing air, can prevent you from moving in bed and sleeping well in the first place.

But you still need some way to get air while you sleep, right? The good thing is, Dr. Samaha is trained to recognize, advise, and consult with a sleep physician on your behalf for an alternative to a CPAP.
