That\u2019s why she offer sleep apnea solutions for Dad and others.<\/span><!--more-->\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save Dad\u2019s Life <\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep apnea is no joke. The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea which occurs when the muscles in the throat relax too much during sleep. That creates a temporary obstruction in the airway can result in:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive daytime sleepiness<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loud \u2013 in some cases extremely loud \u2013 snoring<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Observed episodes of breathing stopping completely during sleep<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abruptly awakening accompanied by gasping or choking<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry mouth or sore throat on awakening<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awakening with headaches <\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems concentrating during the day<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mood changes such as irritability or depression <\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart problems<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stroke<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nighttime sweats<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with severe sleep apnea can rouse dozens or even hundreds of times during the night and have little or no memory of having awakened. The health impacts of non-restorative sleep can be severe. Weight gain, blood pressure problems, and inattentive\/drowsy driving are just a few of the ways in which sleep apnea can become life-threatening.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that your Dad\u2019s excessive snoring might be more than just snoring, take steps to safeguard his health and his life. Urge him to call Creekview Family Dentistry in Lewisville, TX at 972-505-3423 to schedule a consultation.<\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve Your Family\u2019s Sleep<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep apnea can disrupt more than the affected person\u2019s sleep. It can impact an entire family\u2019s wellbeing. It\u2019s fairly common for the spouse to relocate to another bedroom or a couch because the snoring makes sleep nearly impossible.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some homes, there\u2019s simply no escape from the noise and disruption. Children\u2019s grades and behaviors can suffer due to lack of sleep. Not only that, but mood changes on the part of the affected person can put a strain on the whole family.<\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Develop Healthy Habits<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, sleep apnea develops due to excessive weight gain. While it\u2019s not guaranteed, losing weight may improve the symptoms.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking is linked with sleep apnea for many people. Quitting smoking may help.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a strong association between high blood pressure and developing sleep apnea. Managing blood pressure should be a priority.<\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Professional Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your Dad consults with Dr. Shirley E. Matthew, she\u2019ll perform a screening to determine whether sleep apnea may be the issue. The diagnosis can be confirmed by a sleep study. If needed, our office can make a referral to a physician we know and trust to order the sleep study.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If sleep apnea is confirmed, Dr. Matthew can create a custom, comfortable oral appliance to wear during sleep. The appliance shifts the position of the jaws to keep the airway from being obstructed. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep apnea solutions for Dad are just a phone call away.
