Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatments in Kankakee County, IL
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder that can become a very serious health problem in some people. Sleep Apnea can completely disrupt a person's circadian rhythm and can seriously affect mood and energy levels, even impairing performance at work and personal relationships. Getting a good night’s sleep is critical for your mental health and your physical health. David E. Krause, M.D., Ltd. treats the causes of sleep apnea—including obstructions in the airways (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) and a delay in muscles receiving a signal from the brain (Central Sleep Apnea). Sleep apnea is considered a serious medical problem and if left untreated it can lead to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart failure and stroke.
Sleep Apnea Treatments
Your course of treatment will depend on the severity of your situation. Some patients’ sleep apnea can be solved with behavioral modifications—such as losing weight or quitting smoking—while others may need oral sleep devices or even surgery. David E. Krause, M.D., Ltd. will work with you to understand your unique situation and help you determine the best possible course of treatment.
