Sleep Disordered Breathing
Sleep disordered breathing, also known as sleep-related breathing disorders, is a condition that affects the way a person breathe during sleep. It occurs when the muscles of the mouth and neck are relaxed during sleep, leading to a shallow breathing pattern. This can cause a variety of symptoms, including snoring, pauses in breathing, and difficulty staying asleep. Sleep disordered breathing can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, weight gain, and some medications. It can also be a result of underlying health conditions, such as sleep apnea or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If you are experiencing symptoms of sleep disordered breathing, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional. They can help determine the underlying cause of the condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment options. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, such as using a CPAP machine to help keep the air flowing, or using a mouthpiece that helps keep the mouth open during sleep. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat sleep disordered breathing. Sleep disordered breathing is a serious condition that can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. If you are struggling with this condition, it is important to seek help and speak with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
