Sleep Apnea treatment in Aguascalientes

Sleep apnea is a disorder in which breathing is interrupted or becomes very shallow repeatedly while the person sleeps, which disrupts rest and oxygenation during the night.

Frequent signs: loud snoring, pauses in breathing observed by another person, daytime sleepiness, headache upon waking, and a sensation of unrefreshing sleep.

Contributing factors: overweight, alterations of the airways, structure of the jaw, and certain habits.

Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist studies respiratory sleep disorders, with support from the otolaryngologist and the internist depending on the case. If nighttime rest is regularly affected, it's worthwhile to consult it for an appropriate evaluation.
