What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea syndrome is a dangerous disease that can lead to serious, life-threatening heart and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. People who snore a lot or feel sleepy during the day may have sleep apnea syndrome.
At our clinic, we use mouthpieces to treat patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea syndrome after undergoing tests at other hospitals. Please do not assume that your condition is simply due to snoring or lack of sleep.
*This is a disease that causes breathing to stop or become impaired while sleeping.
