I Snore Am I Ill?

The solution to your snoring problem, and the best treatment for Sleep Apnea (Apnoea)

Snoring is not only an unpleasant noise

  • Do you snore or does your partner tell you that you snore?
  • Do you wake up during the night with a start, with a shortness of breath, or with a dry mouth?
  • Do you feel tired in the morning or have headaches?
  • Do you feel you have less mental capacity, you suffer from memory loss or have difficulties in concentrating?
  • Do you fall asleep easily while watching television, reading or in a cinema?
  • Do you suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, chest angina, or suffer from any type of heart condition?
  • Do you take sleeping tablets?
  • Are you overweight?

The Sleep Apnoea can cause important health problems such as over-tiredness, depression, loss of concentration and memory, low libido, high blood pressure, cerebovascular diseases, (strokes, heart attacks), decreasing the life expectancy of those who suffer from it.

The main symptoms are heavy, chronic snoring, respiratory problems and tiredness (sensation of not having slept well)

The incidence of snoring in people over 40 years old is:

  • 60% MALE
  • 40% FEMALE

The incidence of apnea in people over 40 years of age is 6% in male and 4% in female reaching 25% for people of 65 years of age.

Intraoral appliances will help solve the problem.  Consult your dentist.
