To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see patients for the time being.

If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.

This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at (605) 277-9049.

Sincerely,

Dr. Valerie Drake

Understand the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a disorder in which you stop breathing periodically throughout the night. These lapses in breathing can occur many times per hour and leave you feeling exhausted. When your breathing stops, usually from your tongue or tissues blocking your throat, your body responds by jerking you awake every time so you can breathe again.

Managing this condition is critical to getting the rest you need, and we can help you. Below are some common sleep apnea symptoms:

  • Chronic Snoring
  • Tiredness Throughout the Day
  • Irritability
  • Mood Swings
  • Depression
  • Sore Throat Upon Awakening

Know the Risk Factors For Sleep Apnea

There are several risk factors that make it more likely for you to develop sleep apnea:

  • Overweight – If you are overweight, you are at a higher risk of developing sleep apnea than those at a healthy weight.
  • Large Neck – Males with at least a 17-inch neck circumference and women with at least a 16-inch neck measurement are at a higher risk of sleep apnea.
  • Gender – Males are more likely to develop sleep apnea than females.
  • Family History – If you have a family history of sleep apnea, you are at a higher risk of developing the same disorder.
