Sleep Apnea Isn’t Just Snoring 🫁 Loud snoring and waking up gasping are more than annoyances — they may signal sleep apnea, a condition where breathing stops multiple times per night. Untreated sleep apnea puts strain on your heart, raises blood pressure, and can lead to stroke or heart attack over time—and many people don’t even know they have it.

At Lake Norman Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine, we use sleep studies to help diagnose sleep apnea and offer treatment plans tailored to your needs. The right care can help lower your health risks and help you wake up feeling refreshed.
