What we did not know was that Sleep Apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood.

Understanding More About Sleep Apnea:

Sleep Apnea is characterized by a complete or partial blocking of the upper airway, causing the person to have irregular breathing or to stop breathing for a span of approximately 10 to 20 seconds while asleep. This pattern continues several times throughout the night,usually without the person even knowing it.

While Apnea is much less prevalent than common Snoring, the medical implications associated with this disorder can be serious. As breathing becomes very shallow or stops, there is a drop in the blood oxygen level and a rise in the blood carbon dioxide level. When sufferers do not get the amount of oxygen needed this can put the person at serious health risk.

With poor quality sleep, this condition is one of the leading causes of excessive daytime sleepiness which can lead to other health complications.

Interesting Facts About Sleep Apnea:

There are two main types of Sleep Apnea; Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Central Sleep Apnea (CSA).

One out of 25 middle-aged men and one out of 50 middle-aged women have Sleep Apnea; and, it is one of the most prevalent of the breathing disorders of sleep.

People with Sleep Apnea are often less aware of their fatigue and sleepiness than are people with other types of sleep disturbances.

Help for Sleep Apnea Patients:

Sleeping on your side is a first step. Sleeping on your back allows your soft palate and uvula to relax into the back of your throat which obstructs your breathing pathways. By sleeping on your side, or in a prone position, you relieve some of the pressure put on your airways, allowing air to flow more freely, simultaneously reducing the volume of your snoring.

Sufferers are actually lucky that this is a vocal condition. As in my brother’s case, is often discovered by a concerned family member. The sooner it is discovered and treated the better, before it becomes life threatening. Sleep Apnea is a very serious condition and needs immediate attention from a Healthcare Professional who can properly diagnose and offer treatment options.
