Sleep apnoea.

Sleep apnoea is a health condition that affects more than just your sleeping pattern. Someone suffering sleep apnoea will experience severely restricted breathing or even stop breathing multiple times during their sleep. Due to the lack of oxygen, the brain will trigger a 'wake up' response so they will start breathing again, making it almost impossible to get a good night's sleep.

There are various symptoms that are associated with sleep apnoea including snoring, irritability, morning headaches and tiredness. Without treatment sleep apnoea can heavily impact a patients general wellbeing and quality of life and lead to further health conditions and concerns.

If you feel that you or someone you know might have sleep apnoea, come and chat to our sleep apnoea team or book an appointment online. We will happily provide information on the steps you can take to treat your apnoea or get an assessment .
