About Sleep Related Breathing Disorders
Sleep-related breathing disorders have far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond having difficulty sleeping. Yet something that makes them interesting is how few people with these disorders realize they have them. So many of our patients come to us thinking they are just snoring, or because they feel tired but cannot pinpoint why.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
One of the most common sleep-related breathing disorders is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is caused by an obstruction of the airway that occurs during sleep, preventing air from reaching the lungs.
OSA: Not Just an Adult Condition
While thought of as an adult condition, anyone of any age can develop it—even infants. It has even been found to cause ADHD-like symptoms in children, resulting in misdiagnosis. While the soft palate is usually the cause in adults, for children, small structural features of the maxilla/nose, mouth, and throat are often at the root of the problem.
The Importance of Professional Diagnosis and Treatment
OSA cannot be diagnosed or treated at home. This is a potentially life-threatening condition and must be evaluated and treated by experts. At present, the primary method for diagnosing OSA is to have the patient undergo a sleep study, known as Polysomnography (PSG) or Home Sleep Test (HST). We are happy to assist our patients in coordination of any necessary sleep testing.
