@dr.jaffari: This one keeps me up at night. Because the damage is preventable. 🙏 Airway red flags I watch for: 1️⃣ Memory problems that appeared "suddenly" in your 50s They weren't sudden. Your brain has been starving for oxygen for decades. The damage just finally became noticeable. 2️⃣ Brain fog that gets worse every year You blamed stress. Then age. Then menopause. But your brain can't function without oxygen. And it hasn't been getting enough. 😔 3️⃣ "Senior moments" in your 40s You're not a senior. Your brain is just exhausted from never getting restorative sleep. 4️⃣ Struggling to find words that used to come easily This terrifies people. They think it's dementia. Often it's hypoxia. Oxygen deprivation. Night after night for years. 5️⃣ Forgetting conversations you just had Without deep sleep, your brain can't consolidate memories. They never form properly in the first place. 😴 If you're experiencing any cognitive decline, comment "BREATH" now. 👇 Here's what breaks my heart: 💯 People get diagnosed with early dementia and give up. They accept decline. Meanwhile, the airway problem that caused it keeps running. And nobody checks. 😬 Some of this damage is reversible. But only if you find the cause. Comment "BREATH" if you're noticing memory or cognitive changes and want your airway evaluated 👇 #dementia #memoryproblems #brainfog #airwaydentistry #airwayhealth

I use a dental appliance each night that moves my jaw forward which prevents the episodes of sleep apnea. It works like a dream. Much easier than the clap machine which I was not able to tolerate.

I felt tired for years, brain fog, literally so tired felt like I couldn't drive home after work. fell asleep watching TV every night. husband kept insisting I get tested due to my snoring. they have a home test now, I tested positive for mild obstructive sleep apnea. I've been using a CPAP for a month now. first time in years I feel like I've slept 🥰

What we really need is for this kind of dentistry to be more affordable and accessible to people. Insurance is an absolute joke when it comes to dental let alone medical. I have two sons who currently need orthodontic work to improve airway and it’s just completely cost prohibitive at the moment.

Could allergies at night like a stuffy nose decrease oxygen when sleeping?

Undiagnosed sleep apnea caused me to have a stroke. Take it seriously.

Now I need to make sure I use my cpap as much as possible. I’ve always had memory issues and I didn’t know it could be related sleep apnea

People he is talking about sleep apnea. If you or your child snores get a sleep study and get your sleep apnea treated. Snoring is not normal!!!!

I swear my grandmother has dementia but also undiagnosed sleep apnea. But the older she gets the more stubborn and resistant she’s become to seeing doctors 😭

I feel like this is me. My memory has been awful for about 5 years. I’m 41. I know I have apnea. I scheduled a sleep test last week.

Yeah I without doubt have sleep apnea bc I’m having these symptoms as a 23 yr old, I know, my doctor knows it, and the sleep clinic knows it, but my insurance won’t cover a cent of testing bc they don’t feel it’s necessary and I can’t afford it. I worry for my mind and health of my brain every day.
