    Sleep Apnea

    Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. You may have sleep apnea if you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep.

    The main types of sleep apnea are:

    • Obstructive sleep apnea, the more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax.
    • Central sleep apnea, which occurs when your brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
    • Complex sleep apnea syndrome, also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, occurs when someone has both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.

    If you think you might have any form of sleep apnea, call 715-568-2000 to make an appointment. Treatment can ease your symptoms and may help prevent heart problems and other complications.
