Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea Relief in Palo Alto

Menlo Park, Stanford, Atherton

If you snore loudly and wake up tired after a full-nights sleep, you may be suffering from OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea).  Dr. Hakim says that Sleep Apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder caused by throat muscles relaxing while sleeping which causes a block in your airway.

Symptoms May Include:
  • Loud snoring
  • Restless sleep or insomnia
  • Morning headaches
  • Waking up with a dry or sore throat
  • On occasion waking up gasping for air
  • Tired and low energy throughout the day


If you experience some of these symptoms you may be suffering from mild to moderate Sleep Apnea!

Certified to treat this condition, Dr. Hakim will custom fit a mouthpiece so that you can achieve a full and restful night’s sleep. These devices are custom shaped to your mouth to allow the jaw and tongue to align properly. This alignment can prevent the airway restriction that disturbs sleep and causes snoring.
