Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop, decrease, or become restricted during sleep. At Dallas Sleep Health, we provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnostic testing, and personalized treatment to help you sleep better and improve your overall health.
Sleep apnea can affect your breathing, sleep quality, daytime alertness, and overall health. Because symptoms and treatment needs vary from person to person, getting the right diagnosis is an important first step.
At Dallas Sleep Health, we evaluate your symptoms, sleep history, medical conditions, sleep testing, and treatment needs to help determine the most appropriate approach for you.
Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which normal breathing is repeatedly interrupted or reduced during sleep.
There are two primary types:
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway becomes narrowed or blocked during sleep. This can interrupt breathing and may cause snoring, gasping, choking, or repeated awakenings.
Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain does not consistently send the appropriate signals to the muscles responsible for breathing during sleep.
Sleep apnea does not always look the same from one person to another. Common signs may include:
Some people may have sleep apnea without obvious loud snoring.
If you or someone who sleeps near you notices these symptoms, a sleep evaluation may be appropriate.

A custom, mask-free option for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
For eligible patients with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea, medically supervised weight management may be part of treatment.
An implantable treatment option for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use or tolerate PAP.
Sleep apnea treatment is not one-size-fits-all.
We consider factors such as:
