Sleep Apnea shortens life by promoting other diseases. Here is a brief look into Sleep Apnea:


What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep Apnea is the failure to breathe while you sleep. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is the most common type of Apnea. In this form of the disease, the airway collapses, cutting off air flow to the lungs. Snoring is often associated with poor sleep; sometimes overlooked by the patient, although not by their bed partner! A partial airway obstruction causes the upper airway tissues to vibrate and produce the sound of the classic snore.

Why Sleep Apnea is harmful

Cumulative Effect of OSA:

As Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) develops, it has a cumulative effect. This means that the longer the disease goes untreated, the greater the negative side effects and associated health risks. If sleep apnea remains untreated, other health conditions may emerge or current health problems may heighten, including:
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Heart Disease
  • Heart Attack
  • Heart Failure
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Depression
  • Reflux disease (GERD)
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Gestational Diabetes
  • Sexual Dysfunction

Consequences of OSA:

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Difficulty concentrating on tasks such as driving and remaining focused at meetings. (Fatal car accidents are increased seven fold)
  • Morning and daytime headaches
  • Generalized irritability
  • Impaired emotional functioning
  • Sleep disordered breathing in childhood may be instrumental in delaying or damaging cognitive development.
