Stop Snoring, Sleep Better and Live Well
What is Sleep Apnoea?
Symptoms
Sleep Apnoea is more than just snoring, it's a dangerous, life threatening condition.
During slumber, the jaw falls backwards into the airway and the flow of oxygen to the brain and heart is severely obstructed.
Patients often describe waking with a snorting startle. That is the central nervous system and brain desperately trying to get a good supply of oxygen into the body. Headaches are also a tell tale sign of oxygen deprivation.
Often 'Bruxing, Grinding or Clenching of the teeth is a dead giveaway that the brain is desperately trying to hold the teeth together so the tongue doesn't block the airway.
Dangerous Effects of Apnoea
Many patients are not aware that Sleep Apnoea can be fatal. Side effects can reduce mental acuity, memory, physical stamina and libido.
If you wake with a start, or a snorty sort of startle, or feel a choking sensation in the middle of the night, or your partner complains you snore or snort after you doze off, your cardiac health could be seriously at risk.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a serious heart condition which can be triggered by Apnoea.
SLEEP APNOEA CAN KILL !
That's no joke.
The impact of Sleep Apnoea
How can we fix your Apnoea?
International research definitively shows that poor cardiac health is one of the detrimental side effects of Sleep Apnoea.
There is also an impact on relationships, it can be stressful for a partner to be aware that their bed-mate has 'stop and start' breathing, and if this is combined with loud snoring, the anxiety and lack of sleep can really be detrimental to a marriage and intimacy.
A new term has been coined - Sleep Divorce, where partners are separated during the night into other rooms or couches, due to the anxiety or stress of an intimate partner who snores loudly, or more dangerously, fails to breath normally.
Dr Ian Maratos is considered the best in his field in Melbourne. His treatment and cures for Sleep Apnoea and Snoring are successful because he views each patient as a person who needs assistance to live their best quality life by sleeping healthily.
