What is Sleep Apnea?

  • Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing stops and starts repeatedly. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you may have sleep apnea. The main types of sleep apnea are:
    • Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form, which occurs when the throat muscles relax
    • central sleep apnea, which occurs when the brain does not send correct signals to the muscles that control breathing
    • complex sleep apnea syndrome, also called treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, which occurs when someone has both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea

Sleep Apnea Symptoms

The signs and symptoms of obstructive apnea and central sleep apnea overlap, making it sometimes more difficult to determine the type of apnea. The most common signs and symptoms of obstructive apnea and central sleep apnea include the following:

  • loud snoring
  • Episodes where you stop breathing during sleep (reported by another person)
  • gasping for breath during sleep
  • Waking up with a dry mouth
  • headache in the morning
  • Trouble staying asleep (insomnia)
  • Feeling excessively sleepy during the day (hypersomnia).
  • Difficulty paying attention while awake
  • Irritability

A friend recommended the clinic to me. I was not very clear about the choice of the consultation because it catches me "far away" (I am from Barakaldo), but even so I gave it a chance to see how it was going. I will never regret the decision: a palette rebuild (with the best materials on the market as they explained to me) and a same day cleaning and not an ounce of pain. A hell of a team, pardon the expression... but it seemed to me like a family of professionals bigger than San Mamés. Close, expert, friendly, punctual and very attentive. It fits me...
