Even mild snoring can lead to decreased sleep for you or your partner. Severe snoring prevents you from reaching the deepest levels of sleep, causing excessive sleepiness during the day. This can cause difficulties in school or on the job. Sometimes, the obstruction is so severe that breathing stops temporarily. This is known as obstructive sleep apnea. If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea can lead to serious heart and lung complications. Treatments are available for all forms of snoring and airway obstructions. At Ear, Nose and Throat Associates of East Texas, we’re ready to help.
