Sleep Apnea Treatment in Atlanta, GA

Breathe Easier. Sleep Better. Live Healthier.

Sleep apnea is more than just loud snoring—it’s a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night. Left untreated, it can contribute to chronic fatigue, memory problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other serious health concerns. Many people don’t even realize they have it until a partner notices pauses in breathing, gasping, or choking sounds during sleep.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea occurs when your airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep, interrupting your breathing for several seconds at a time—sometimes hundreds of times a night. These pauses reduce oxygen levels in your blood, forcing your brain to briefly wake you up to restore breathing. This disrupts your natural sleep cycles, leaving you tired, irritable, and at greater risk for long-term health problems.

There are two main types:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common type, caused by relaxed throat muscles or excess tissue narrowing the airway.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Less common, occurs when the brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles controlling breathing.

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

- Loud, chronic snoring
- Episodes of stopped breathing during sleep
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Morning headaches
- Daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
- Mood changes, irritability, or depression
