What is Sleep Apnea? Causes Of Sleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep Apnea, or sleep disordered breathing is a serious health condition that affects roughly more than 20 million people. Experiencing unnaturally long pauses or very shallow breaths while asleep are common symptoms of sleep apnea. There are varying forms of sleep apnea, and each will require different treatment.

It is common belief that sleep apnea is simply a product of snoring; however, there is much more to understanding the causes of sleep disordered breathing. Mysnoreworld.com has many articles below that will help educate you on sleep apnea symptoms and treatments.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea And Treatment Options

While loud snoring is one of the major sleep apnea symptoms, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. Many people have sleep apnea symptoms for years before getting it diagnosed. Sufferers of this form of sleep disordered breathing usually feel tired, even after a full night's sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea, which is the most common kind of sleep disordered breathing, can lead to serious medical issues if left untreated, including an increased risk of stroke and heart attack. Sleep apnea treatment can only be prescribed if your symptoms are pinpointed. This can be difficult to pinpoint if you are sleeping alone, however there are sleep centers that provide evaluation and other home solutions are available to determine symptoms of sleep apnea. Once determined, a common sleep apnea treatment may be suggested such as the CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure).
