Sleep apnoea.

Sleep apnoea.

Sleep apnoea is a health condition that affect's more than just your sleeping pattern. Someone with sleep apnoea will experience severely restricted breathing or even stop breathing during their sleep. Due to the lack of oxygen the brain will trigger a 'wake up' response so that they will start breathing again making it almost impossible to get a good nights 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 patient’s general wellbeing and quality of life and lead to further health conditions and concerns.

If you feel that you or someone you know may have sleep apnoea come in and discuss this with our sleep apnoea team, or book an appointment online. We will happily point you in the right direction of what steps to take next.
