Also, look out for other symptoms including:
- Loud and chronic snoring
- Chronic migraines, usually in the morning
- Waking up with a sore throat and/or dry mouth
- Feeling completely exhausted even after a full night of sleep
- Feeling irritable, moody, or forgetful
- Irregular or chronic insomnia
- Choking or gasping while sleeping, even waking up as a result

Managing Sleep Apnea
There are various treatment options Dr. Bachour will recommend that are best suited to your personal lifestyle and medical history. Sleep apnea and snoring issues can be treated with devices that hold the lower jaw in a forward position to maintain a clear airway. These devices reduce snoring and improve breathing, allowing you to enjoy a full and restful night’s sleep.
Dr. Bachour may also suggest lifestyle changes or risk factors to consider at home. For example, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol in excess amounts, or being overweight can increase the risks associated with sleep apnea and have other health consequences. Patients may be predisposed to sleep apnea through family genetics, age, or physical build, such as a large neck or natural overbite.
