Open toolbar LOCATIONS SKILLED, CARING PROFESSIONALS Obstructive Sleep Apnea CONTACT US Obstruction sleep apnea is a very serious condition that takes place when an individual’s breathing repeatedly stops during the course of a night’s sleep. This happens when the soft tissue in the throat collapses. Loud snoring is a symptom, as well as morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty actually staying asleep at night, or sore throat or dry mouth upon awakening.

Gone untreated, sleep apnea can lead to heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and other serious medical conditions.
