Dr. Alan Erickson has limited his practice to treating Sleep Apnea and TMJ. Simple oral appliance therapy is an excellent alternative to CPAP.
Researchers have linked severe obstructive sleep apnea to increased risk of subclinical myocardial injury – an early sign of heart damage. This is according to a study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Some of the symptoms are vague and may seem completely unrelated, which is why it important to see a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Some signs of sleep apnea include:
Loud Snoring
Headaches
Memory Loss
Daytime Sleepiness
Reduced Attention
Poor Concentration
Driving Drowsy
Unfortunately, only a minority of sleep apnea sufferers have been diagnosed. We are working to change that in our community.
