This common disorder affects millions of people each\nyear in the United States, but did you know there are actually three forms of\nsleep apnea? Knowing which one you suffer from may not be easily identifiable,\nbut if you take the necessary steps to seek help from a professional sleep\ndentist, you can be on your way to understanding the cause, your symptoms, and\nhow best to treat it. Read on to learn more about the different forms of sleep\napnea and which treatment is right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Most Commonly Diagnosed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the National Sleep Foundation, it is estimated\nthat between 5 and 20% of adults have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This\ncommonly diagnosed condition occurs when there is a partial or full blockage\nwithin a person\u2019s airway. When the throat muscles relax, the tongue and\/or\nfatty tissues fall to the back of the throat, making it difficult for the individual\nto receive adequate airflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who suffer from OSA most often experience the\nfollowing symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Ceased breathing or frequent interruptions while\nasleep<\/li><li>Moodiness (i.e. depression, irritability)<\/li><li>Gasping for breath throughout the night<\/li><li>Chronic snoring<\/li><li>Restlessness<\/li><li>Chronic fatigue<\/li><li>Morning headaches<\/li><li>Difficulty concentrating<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are most at risk for developing OSA include\nindividuals who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Are obese or overweight<\/li><li>Smoke or use tobacco products<\/li><li>Consume excess alcohol<\/li><li>Have enlarged tonsils or adenoids<\/li><li>Are older in age<\/li><li>Have a family history of OSA<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Central Sleep Apnea: When Problems Exist Within the Brain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals with Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) have difficulty\nachieving adequate rest because of the brain\u2019s inability to signal the muscles\nthat control a person\u2019s breathing. Considered to be more a communicative\nproblem between the brain and body, it is much less common and can be\nattributed to various medical conditions (i.e. Parkinson\u2019s disease, obesity,\nheart failure, those affecting the brain stem). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the symptoms associated with OSA are also found in\nindividuals with CSA, making it much harder to differentiate for individuals\nwith no formal diagnosis. It\u2019s important to remember that people who are over\nthe age of 65, have heart disorders, have experienced a stroke or brain tumor,\nor are using opioid medications are at a greater risk of developing CSA, as are\nmen more so than women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mixed Sleep Apnea: The Combination of OSA and CSA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered to be the most complex form, mixed sleep apnea is\nwhen symptoms of both OSA and CSA develop. If a patient is undergoing therapy\nwith a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for OSA, that person\ncan develop CSA while wearing the device. In fact, a study performed by the\nMayo Clinic discovered that out of 223 individuals, 15% of sleep apnea patients\nsuffering from OSA actually had mixed sleep apnea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Available Treatment Options?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you receive a formal diagnosis, a sleep dentist will be\nable to provide a more thorough explanation with regard to treatment. Many of\nthe same solutions are administered for OSA, CSA, and mixed sleep apnea. These\ncan include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>CPAP therapy<\/li><li>Oral Appliance Therapy<\/li><li>Surgery<\/li><li>Medications<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, CPAP devices are commonly recommended for\ntreatment; however, many patients may become what is known as \u201cCPAP intolerant\u201d\nor simply experience difficulty in maneuvering the bulky machinery. Instead,\nsleep dentists are suggesting oral appliance therapy as a more user-friendly,\ncomfortable solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These compact, oral devices can move the lower jaw\n(mandible) downward just enough so that the tongue will move forward and\nprevent a potential blockage within the airway. During your examination, your\nsleep dentist will use the compiled information to recommend the appropriate\noral appliance for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you believe you may be suffering from sleep apnea, you\nare encouraged to take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powelldentalsleepsolutions.com\/take-the-sleep-quiz.html\">Epworth\nSleepiness Scale Quiz<\/a>, which can help to identify whether it is likely you\nhave sleep apnea or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><br>\nDr. Shelley Shults is a board-certified registered nurse, general dentist,\nfamily nurse practitioner, and dental sleep medicine practitioner.
