Sleep Apnea can be the
cause or a contributing factor to:
- Weight gain not explained by poor diet or lack of exercise
- Anxiety, irritability, depression, and other mood disturbances
- Not feeling rested when you wake up in the morning and feeling tired during daytime hours
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
- Some of the risk factors include obesity, previous damage to the nose or throat, or those who snore heavily for other reasons are at higher risk of developing this condition. Sleep apnea can be especially problematic for those with certain medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and a previous stroke.
Current medical treatments don't work for everyone.
Sleep doctors typically prescribe a CPAP mask that patients wear that force oxygen into the nose to keep breathing consistently throughout the night CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. The downside to a CPAP machine is that it is a cumbersome and noisy machine not allowing for some people to sleep with a CPAP mask than they did without it.
