Do You Suffer From Sleep Apnea?

 

Do you wake feeling unrested?
Do others complain about your loud snoring?
Does your spouse say that the noises you make during the night sound as if you are choking or gasping for air?

Chronic snoring can be a symptom of a more serious condition that not only affects your bedmate, but also affects your quality of life and potentially your health. Chronic snoring can be a symptom of many disorders, one being Sleep Apnea. Apnea is defined as "the temporary reduction or cessation of breath". Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when these interruptions in breathing occur for periods of 10 seconds or longer while you sleep (with the severity of your condition determined by how many times it occurs in an hour of sleep).

This reduction in breathing caused by Obstructive Sleep Apnea can, along with other occurrences can have a direct effect on your health, including:

  • lowering the oxygen levels in the blood;
  • causing your heart to work harder; and
  • interrupting your sleep.
