Snoring & Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Breathing-related sleep disorders are a major cause of health, safety, and quality of life problems in our country.  Not only can snoring and sleep apnea cause difficulty sleeping for those who suffer from them, they can also lead to serious medical complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, or even stroke.  They also lead to daytime drowsiness that can cause a major loss of work-related productivity, impaired driving, and a drastic decrease in your enjoyment of life and sense of well being.  Sleep-related problems are also a major cause of learning and behavioral difficulties in children.

Symptoms

Untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches. Moreover, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated. Several treatment options exist, and research into additional options continues.
