If any of this sounds familiar, make an appointment with your doctor. The next step is a sleep study, either at home or in a lab, to count the number of times you stop breathing in your sleep (it’s difficult to identify blockages while you’re awake in the office).
If it’s more than five times an hour, your doctor will discuss treatment options depending on severity and what might be causing it. The most common treatment is what’s called a CPAP machine—you wear a mask, which helps push air through the blockage to open it up. Oral appliances, which bring your jaw forward to open up your airway, may also be an option.
