Sleep Apnea Symptoms
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which a patient experiences pauses in breathing when sleeping. The breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to a couple minutes and can occur over 5 times in an hour. This condition disrupts sleep and can lead to excessive drowsiness and exhaustion during the daytime.
The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea, where the airways are obstructed during sleep.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Many patients who suffer from sleep apnea do not realize that they are snoring or gasping for air repeatedly throughout the night. It is typically a partner who reports that there may be some issues, but the patient might recognize some of the symptoms of sleep apnea themselves.
Symptoms of sleep apnea can include:
- Loud snoring that is chronic
- Long pauses in breathing when sleeping
- Choking or gasping for air when sleeping
- Daytime exhaustion
- Sore or dry mouth in the morning
- Restless sleep
- Insomnia
- Waking up feeling out of breath
- Difficulty concentrating during the day
- Moodiness, irritability, and/or depression
If you or someone that you know might be experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea, do not hesitate to contact our practice.

I had a dental emergency just a few days before Christmas. My friend’s father recommended me to see Dr. Ali. Dr Ali managed … More to fit me in his busy schedule before closing his office for the holiday. He was calm in delivering my news of getting 3 extractions. As anxious as I was, I was able to read all the positive reviews his variety of patients wrote about him. He has been practicing at the same location for years and he looked like he had some loyal patients. Dr Ali and his staff stayed way past their clinic hours to perform the procedure. Dental work is overall an expensive process. But honestly, price doesn’t beat the way I was taken care of at this clinic. I am grateful, and have found a dentist that I will stick with going forward.

Dr. Ali is truly a top notch and dedicated dentist. He works very hard. He constantly improves and updates his office with … More a latest cutting edge technology. His office is like one stop shop. No need to go to different specialists for each procedure. Everything, from oral surgery to cosmetic procedures, can be done in his office with a highest quality and care. He is always on top of the industry updates. My husband and myself are still his patients for 11 years now and our 8 year-old child has recently joined us. Dr. Ali mainly works with adult patients, but we decided to introduce our daughter early enough so she could get maximum benefits for later life. We are very fortunate and appreciative by the services he provided. This is the only dentist our family can trust.
