Understanding Sleep Apnea

Complete Sleep Apnea Care Across Georgia

At Palmetto Sleep, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for sleep apnea in Fayetteville, McDonough, Palmetto, and Zebulon, GA. Sleep apnea is more than just snoring—it is a serious condition that can affect heart health, energy levels, and overall quality of life. Recognizing and addressing this condition is the first step toward restoring healthier sleep and better days.

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Because sleep apnea often occurs while you are asleep, many people do not realize they have it until symptoms become disruptive. Signs may include:

Persistent, Loud Snoring

Not all snoring is caused by sleep apnea, but nearly every patient with obstructive sleep apnea snores. Loud, chronic snoring—especially if it can be heard from another room—can signal airway obstruction. If snoring has been a long-term issue, it’s best to get evaluated by a sleep professional.

Daytime Fatigue Despite “Enough” Sleep

If you wake up feeling unrefreshed or rely on caffeine to get through the day without success, sleep apnea may be to blame. Even after hours of rest, pauses in breathing prevent the body from reaching restorative sleep, leading to persistent daytime sleepiness.

Bed Partner Observations

Many patients first learn they have sleep apnea from their spouse or partner. Witnessed pauses in breathing, gasping, or choking during sleep are hallmark signs that should not be ignored.

High Blood Pressure

Sleep apnea is closely linked with hypertension. For patients already managing high blood pressure, untreated sleep apnea can make it worse. For those without hypertension, sleep apnea significantly increases the risk of developing it.

Restless Nights or Insomnia

Difficulty staying asleep, frequent waking, or even full insomnia can accompany sleep apnea. Left untreated, these disruptions may worsen over time, impacting both physical and mental health.

Diagnosing Sleep Apnea

Getting a clear diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. At Palmetto Sleep, we offer both at-home sleep testing and in-lab studies, depending on each patient’s needs. Using advanced technology, we gather accurate results to develop a customized treatment plan.

Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Our team works with patients to create personalized solutions, which may include:

• CPAP therapy for consistent airway support
