What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common but mostly undiagnosed sleep disorder that can be life threatening if left untreated. Sleep apnea involves the partial blockage of the airway at night causing a reduction in the supply of oxygen to the blood stream. Sleep deprivation caused by sleep apnea affects many people. Symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, frequent nighttime visits to the bathroom, morning headaches, waking up unrested, difficulty concentrating and problems with memory. It is more prevalent in men however as people age gender becomes less important. People who sleep on their backs, have large necks or who are overweight also have a higher incidence of sleep apnea.

What are the risks?

The cumulative effect of this reduced oxygen can lead to heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of other diseases.
