Heavy snoring is a major symptom of OSA and it’s commonly the first sign of the disorder that patients will notice. It’s often the patient’s spouse or sleep partner who will bring up the issue and encourage them to seek professional care. However, just because you snore, that doesn’t always mean you have sleep apnea.
If you’re concerned about your heavy snoring, Dr. Sheehan can help. She’ll make sure you get the correct diagnosis and the treatment that’s right for you. Dr. Sheehan can arrange for you to take a sleep study, which is the best way to determine if your loud snoring and other symptoms are caused by sleep apnea.
