Here at Breathe and Thrive, we treat sleep apnea. Sleep apnea requires careful attention and treatment because it’s potentially a life-threatening condition. If an air passage collapses during sleep, it can cause complete blockage or partial blockage of the airway. This will interrupt sleep patterns. Symptoms of sleep apnea can include drowsiness during the day, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and depression. If sleep apnea is left untreated, it can result in high blood pressure, heart failure, heart attack, and possibly stroke. Other conditions that can arise from sleep apnea are eye problems like glaucoma, complications with medications and surgery, morning headaches, mood swings, memory problems, and nocturia (the need to urinate frequently at night).

Don’t be alarmed if you have found sleep apnea to be a problem for you. This condition affects millions of Americans. Here at Breathe and Thrive, it’s our goal to be able to treat every patient that is troubled by this condition. Dr. Kuntz focuses on non-invasive procedures that can solve the condition before suggesting surgery.
