Overview

About Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, which can occur up to 100 times per hour in severe cases. This condition disrupts restful sleep and poses significant health risks if left untreated.


Undiagnosed sleep apnea can lead to a host of serious complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, and cognitive impairment. Additionally, the chronic sleep deprivation caused by sleep apnea can result in excessive daytime sleepiness, increasing the risk of motor vehicle accidents and workplace errors.

Prompt diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea are crucial, as effective management can dramatically improve quality of life, reduce associated health risks, and potentially prevent life-threatening complications. Treatment options such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy have shown to be highly effective in managing symptoms and reducing long-term health risks associated with this condition.

I know I'm getting excellent medical care and have used them for both in person and virtual appointments. She listens and provides insightful feedback that helps me to manage my health and wellness. Great job to her team in assuring my lab appointments are set up and ready when I arrive. I highly recommend!

Dr. Araghi is wonderful. His office staff is so nice and they move efficiently. Both visits I've had to his office were pleasant and Dr Araghi was on time for the appointments. I appreciate him keeping a great schedule and being considerate of my time. I Will definitely visit for any future needs.
