Stop Ignoring Signs Of Sleep Apnea
If you have no way of knowing whether or not you snore, it may seem difficult to tell if breathing issues are interfering with your nightly rest.

They include problems with fatigue, a struggle with focus and short-term memory, changes in blood pressure, and general difficulties with staying awake throughout the day. Letting your Virginia Beach, VA dentist know that there are symptoms of sleep apnea that you deal with can benefit you, as it can lead to treatment for the problem.
