Sleep Apnea and Allergies | San Tan, Arizona
Waking up tired despite a full night’s sleep? Allergies and sleep apnea may be the hidden culprits. Both conditions can disrupt breathing, making it harder for your body to rest and recover.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when your airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. Common signs include loud snoring, gasping, and daytime fatigue. Untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and memory issues.
How Allergies Affect Sleep
Seasonal pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold can clog nasal passages and cause chronic congestion. This forces mouth breathing, worsening sleep apnea symptoms and lowering sleep quality.
