Are you ready to kick your bed partner out to the doghouse because you can’t stand one more night of that loud snoring, gasping, choking and rattling? Do you feel more like you are sleeping with a tractor than a person? You may have more than irritating noise on your hands – your partner might be dealing with sleep apnea!
The fact is, most people with sleep apnea are not aware that they have it. They don’t hear themselves snore and they don’t realize that they have stopped breathing during an episode. All they know is that they rarely feel rested.
Does your partner exhibit any of the following symptoms to go with his or her snoring?
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Tiredness
- Dry mouth
- Sore throat
- Insomnia
- Inability to sleep through the night
- Restlessness during the night
- Short term memory problems
- High blood pressure
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Memory/concentration difficulties
- Intellectual deterioration
Please call me or a sleep clinic right away. Sleep apnea can be life threatening! I can help both you and your partner get a good night’s sleep with a special oral device so small it fits in the palm of your hand. Call me, Dr. Randy Mitchmore at 713-592-9300, or visit the LifeSmiles Website at www.lifesmiles.us.
