Sleep Apnea Treatment

What is Sleep Apnea?

Those of us with Sleep Apnea, stop breathing while we are sleeping. We wake from this condition in many cases by gasping for air. Sometimes we wake up hundreds of times per night. The sad thing is, although we have Sleep Apnea and we wake up hundreds of times per night, in most cases, we are the last ones to know we have Sleep Apnea!

When we have Sleep Apnea, our health may be in danger and we are more likely to develop serious health problems. Sleep Apnea is a known cause of high blood pressure and can lead to obesity. Sleep Apnea can lead to depression and problems in our relationships.

Sleep Apnea can be a dangerous condition that if not treated can affect the overall quality of your life. Treatment has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve glucose levels and boost energy in people with Diabetes ††.

Treatment of Sleep Apnea is not about getting to sleep, it is about getting the right kind of sleep our bodies need to feel rested, refreshed and can function the way they were designed…if you or anyone you know displays any of the signs, do yourself and them a big favor. Tell them to talk to their Physician about scheduling a sleep test.

What are the common signs of Sleep Apnea?

As mentioned above, those of us with Sleep Apnea are sometimes the last to know we have this condition. Many times our bed partners are the ones who encourage us to seek a diagnosis…those of us with “untreated” Sleep Apnea are not the most comfortable people to sleep with…or live with for that matter!

The more common signs of Sleep Apnea are:

‚ Excessive sleepiness
‚ Snoring
‚ Gasping for or holding your breath during sleep
‚ Morning headaches
‚ Depression
‚ High blood pressure
‚ Overweight (including large neck size)

If you or anyone you know exhibit any of the signs above, you need to talk to your Physician. Sleep Apnea is no laughing matter.

If you answer YES, to any of the following questions you may be at risk for Sleep Apnea!

1. Do you snore regularly (more than 3 times per week)?
2. Are you excessively tired during the day?
3. Have you been told you stop breathing during sleep?
4. Do you have high blood pressure?
5. Is your neck size greater than 16 inches (female) or 17 inches (male)?

If you answered YES please see your doctor about getting a sleep test…

OK, OK, I probably have Sleep Apnea now what?

Treatment Options

There are several treatment options available for Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA. Most doctors recommend continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This therapy is safe, effective and noninvasive and does not require drugs or surgery.

Other treatments include dental appliances which have some benefits for people with mild OSA. Invasive surgeries are available but with variable success rates which also bring into play short and long term complications and risk.

The safest and most effective method of treatment is positive airway pressure. Those of us who use PAP therapy have reduced health risks and more energy to do all the things we want to do…and we simply feel better!
