Snoring And Sleep Apnea

Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Associates of Central Pennsylvania provides state-of-the-art, comprehensive, specialized care for snoring and sleep apnea in patients of any age. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder characterized by irregular breathing during sleep. Patients with sleep apnea have their sleep interrupted by lapses in breathing, which not only affects their quality of sleep, but it can also lead to dangerous health problems due to lack of oxygen. It is important to receive a prompt diagnosis of sleep apnea followed by treatment. Leaving sleep apnea untreated can lead to sleep deprivation as well as poorer quality of sleep.
