Sleep apnea is a serious condition that can result in life-threatening complications – and people who suffer from sleep apnea in Colorado often experience an increase in symptoms during our cold and long winters.
Weather related upper-respiratory problems such as congestion can serve to exacerbate sleep apnea symptoms including snoring and difficulties breathing while lying in bed.

If you suffer from sleep apnea, now is the best time to call our Aurora office at 720-400-8546 to discuss noninvasive treatment options that can help prevent these symptoms and ensure a restful night’s sleep.
