Sleep Apnea in Vienna, VA
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a condition that affects both adults and children. This condition can cause not only daytime sleepiness and consistent fatigue but also behavioral problems and challenges with studying in children.
OSAS is caused by obstruction of the airway during sleep, thereby depriving the person of oxygen. Because of this deprivation, the body is stressed and the quality of sleep is poor. The ongoing lack of restful sleep along with reduced oxygen levels can negatively impact a person’s overall health.
We treat sleep apnea in both children and adults, and can help you or your child finally get a good night’s sleep.
