Sleep Apnea Problems

Sleep Apnea is a common sleeping disorder which involves small pauses of breathing whilst sleeping. Pauses can last between a few seconds to a few minutes. Often the breathing pauses occur between 5 to 30 times per hour, usually followed by normal breathing again or snoring.

Sleep Apnea is very difficult to diagnose and many people don't even realise they are suffering with the condition unless a family member and/or bed partner has noticed the problem.

It can be difficult for a doctor to diagnose the problem since a routine visit to your local clinic may not be enough for your doctor to monitor the symptoms.

The results of sleep apnea are excessive daytime sleepiness which is some cases can be completely devastating and ruin daytime hours. Some have even been known to fall asleep at work, which can lead to a loss of job.

Sleep apnea is caused when the airway becomes partially blocked because the brain hasn't sent the signal to open up the airways properly. This can then be followed by snoring, coughing or even awakening due to discomfort.

If left untreated the problem can lead to other problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack, obesity, stroke and diabetes. The constant sleep deprivation can also lead to an increased chance of daytime accidents such as at work or when driving.

If you believe you may be suffering try asking a loved one to wake up at night and listen to your sleeping patter. Or you could record your sleep with a voice recorder and play it back, listening for any irregularities.
