While snoring can be noisy, it is also a common symptom of sleep apnea, a serious disorder that may be potentially hazardous to your health. People with sleep apnea can stop breathing as many as 100 times per hour. This affects oxygen levels and the ability to get a good restful sleep. Sleep apnea can lead to serious health consequences, including stroke and sudden death.

 

The Sleep Medicine Physicians and Registered Licensed Sleep Technologists at Red River Sleep Center have the training, experience, and advanced technology to scientifically measure every aspect of your sleep cycle. We can determine if you experience snoring or sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, treatments such as a CPAP breathing device can help you sleep soundly and safely.
