Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders. It causes those who have it to continuously stop and start breathing throughout the night. While it can get in the way of peaceful sleeping, it can also be dangerous. This disrupted breathing causes the oxygen levels in your blood to drop, straining your cardiovascular system and leading to potentially dangerous health problems like high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.
Types of sleep apnea include:
Obstructive sleep apnea: occurs when throat muscles relax
Central sleep apnea: muscles that control breathing don’t receive signals from the brain
Complex sleep apnea: a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
Loud snoring
Daytime fatigue
Morning headaches
Lack of focus or irritability
Sore or dry throat upon waking
Health Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea
Leaving sleep apnea untreated can have serious, long-term consequences for your health. Beyond fatigue and poor concentration, the repeated drops in oxygen during sleep can place continuous stress on your heart and other organs.
Over time, this increases the risk of high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart disease, and stroke. Sleep apnea has also been linked to insulin resistance, weight gain, and a higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.
For many patients, untreated sleep apnea contributes to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as a higher risk of accidents caused by daytime drowsiness. Addressing sleep apnea early not only restores restful sleep, but it also protects your overall health and longevity.
How Do You Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
