What is Sleep Apnea?Whether you snore, or have a loved one who breathes heavily every night - Apnea may be a problem. If you stop inhaling during sleep, it is likely you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The most common type of apnea is referred to as Obstructive Sleep Apnea, where the muscles at the base of the tongue relax and obstruct your air passage.
Throat blockage results in a lower volume of breathable oxygen in the blood. If allowed to be left untreated, Obstructive Sleep Apnea can induce high blood pressure, strokes, heart disease and even death. Learn more about sleep apnea by clicking here: www.sleepapnea.naturesdesigndentalspa.com
What are the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?
A lot of loud snoring is the most common symptom of sleep apnea. In addition, gasps and pauses in breathing are only obvious during sleep, so question your partner if they caught any adjustments in your inhaling throughout the night.
If you have memory loss, depression or have difficulty staying awake throughout the day, you may have obstructive Sleep Apnea and never know it.
Along with higher blood pressure, strokes and heart conditions, Sleep Apnea sufferers are more likely to be in accidents, whether auto or work-related. Left without treatment, obstructive sleep apnea may cause death, whether directly through a blocked air passage or through fatigue-induced mishaps.
Treatment methods for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Standard treatments include weight loss, modification in sleeping position, alcohol/sedative restraint and the CPAP airflow apparatus. In many cases, Neuromuscular Dental treatment (TMJ/TMD Treatment) can be used to adequately manage Sleep Apnea symptoms.
