What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a general term for breathing problems that occur during sleep. It affects approximately 20 million adults around the World and has serious negative health effects when present with other conditions such as diabetes.
Many people are not aware they have sleep apnea. Often a bed partner is the first to witness symptoms.
Some common signs include:
The good news is that CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) treatment can help you prevent high blood pressure or reduce your levels significantly. In fact, all the risk factors mentioned above can be improved in patients who receive sleep apnea treatment.
CPAP therapy is the most widely accepted treatment for sleep apnea and does not involve drugs or surgery. A bedside device gently delivers pressured air through a mask to keep upper air way open and help prevent apneas.
