Your Snoring Might Be Apnea!

At Sleep Apnea & TMJ Solutions in Brentwood and Murfreesboro TN, we know that sleep apnea is a unique condition that can affect not just you, but those around you as well. This is why we specialize in sleep apnea solutions. However, we know that sometimes it can be hard to identify.

One of the main symptoms of sleep apnea – and the easiest to use for identification of the condition – is snoring. There’s only one problem: you usually snore when you’re asleep! So, if you can’t hear yourself snoring, and you don’t have a family member that can let you know, you can go your whole life with undiagnosed sleep apnea.

This can be risky for several reasons; not the least of which is that you need your sleep! Even if you don’t wake up and notice it, the constant interruption of your sleep cycle can have detrimental effects on your sleep patterns, restfulness, and energy levels.

You might notice you’re more tired, have a harder time catching your breath, or get dirtier looks at the breakfast table. You might even notice that your entire household has grown wearier. Luckily, we have an easy solution that can help you and your loved ones out.

A Quick Solution To Ascertaining If You Have Sleep Apnea

Use a recording device! There’s probably an app to record voice notes or audio messages on your phone. So, free up some space on your drive, and hit record before you drift off. If you put the device close enough to your face, like on a bedside table, it should pick up any snoring and sudden stops in breathing.

Of course, nobody wants to listen to 8 hours of nothing, so scroll through quickly and check every hour or so. Snoring is often continous and unceasing, so it shouldn’t be hard to ascertain whether you’re suffering from this symptom.

If your snoring persists, or you’re suffering from other symptoms of sleep apnea, visit us immediately. The team at Sleep Apnea & TMJ Solutions in Brentwood and Murfreesboro TN is ready to help! Contact us today!
