What Causes
Sleep Apnea?

Even though the root cause of sleep apnea is still unknown, some patients are more at risk for developing this condition than others and need to be aware of sleep apnea symptoms. Being overweight, being male, or having a family history of sleep apnea can put you at a greater risk of developing this condition at any stage of life. Other potential causes may include:

Nasal obstruction

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Having a large tongue

Small jaw bone structure

Having large tonsils

Having a large neck size

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

If you are seeking treatment for sleep apnea in Columbia, TN, schedule your private appointment with Dr. Lauren Wilburn. Dr. Wilburn may recommend behavioral changes to help improve sleep or fit you with an oral device that you can wear while sleeping to open up the airways. In some cases, surgery may the only way to restore proper breathing.

About Obstructive
Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep apnea and occurs when there is any type of blockage of the airway. This happens when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses during sleep, a dangerous situation that can disrupt sleep patterns and increase the risk of high blood pressure or heart failure. If you are looking for a specialist to diagnose sleep apnea in Columbia, TN, talk to us for a referral or appointment.
