The Dangers of Sleep Apnea
Many people aren’t aware that sleep apnea can have grave impacts on their health. In fact, research has shown connections between obstructive sleep apnea and an increased risk of:
- Strokes
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Depression
- Type 2 diabetes
- Liver problems
In addition to all of these complications, sleep apnea can also impact your intimate relationships with your partner due to chronic snoring that interrupts their sleep-wake cycle as well.
Throughout the night, you may find yourself waking up gasping for air, and this is due to the fact that your airway is obstructed. When your brain doesn’t receive enough oxygen, it sets off a signal to wake you up. Each of these episodes is called an apnea, and many patients with OSA experience these hundreds of times each night.
The Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
It can be difficult to know whether you suffer from sleep apnea, especially if many of the most alarming symptoms occur at night. Some of the common effects you should look out for include:
- Dry mouth
- Frequent headaches
- Sore throat
- Insomnia
- Difficulty concentrating
- Daytime fatigue
- Forgetfulness
- Low libido
- Mood swings
