Sleep Apnea and OSA Treatment with Dr. Gyurina

Sleep apnea or Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is so disruptive of the body’s systems that it is potentially deadly: it can increase your risk of dying—from any cause—by five times or more. Don’t wait…get treatment today!

How do I know if I have sleep apnea?

The sleep study can determine which kind of sleep apnea a person has. In the cases of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, the soft tissues around the throat collapse during sleep to cause an obstructed airway. This includes the tongue falling back out of position to create the airway obstruction. This happens when the jaw is underdeveloped, not leaving enough space for the tongue.

Children and Breathing

New evidence clearly shows that certain facial types, such as retruded (slow-developing lower jaw), narrowed jaws, and long faces can put a child at risk for developing chronic health problems known to be associated with compromised nasal breathing during both wakefulness and sleep. If your child is showing any of the symptoms below, we ask that you contact our office or your pediatrician to ask about compromised nasal breathing.

Hyperactivity
Aggressive behavior
Behavioral Inhibition
Impulsivity
Withdrawal
Executive Dysfunction

Anxiety
Depression
Rule Breaking
