Many assume that everyone snores… so it’s a condition that can be left alone and ignored. Right? Wrong. Even though most people decide to take no action to solve their snoring problem, the fact remains that it may be linked to a very serious health condition known as sleep apnea. While it isn’t the cause for all patients who seek help from Dr. Buchanan, having undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea can cause all sorts of health risks. Of course, for some patients it may be a result of something less serious, but sleep apnea cannot be ruled out unless proper visit and examinations have been completed.
