Sleep Apnea Disorder
Millions of people suffer from sleeping disorders each year.
There are different types of sleeping disorders but the three
most common types are Insomnia, Sleep Apnea, and Narcolepsy.
This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of Sleep
Apnea.
Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder in which the sufferer stops
breathing during sleep. Many sufferers can stop breathing for a
few seconds or more than a minute. The frequency of cessation of
breath can be a few times a night to more than a hundred. Each
time the person stops breathing the reflexes in the body cause
the person to wake up. For people who have sleep apnea this
disease is very disruptive to their sleep. They usually wake in
the morning not feeling irritable and unable to concentrate.
Without enough quality sleep sufferers can have problems at
their job or with their personal relationships.
Sleep apne is usually caused by an obstruction in the airways,
usually by the tongue or collapse of the throat muscles.
Although sleep apnea can be extremely disturbing to quality
sleep, there are many effective techniques to treat this ailment.
One of the most popular ways to treat sleep apne is a CPAP
which stands for continuous positive air pressure. This is a
mask like device that fits over the persons face and forces
oxygen into the lungs. Many sufferers swear by this device and
it has been shown overwhelming effective in the majority of
people that use it. This device enables the person to receive
oxygen throughout the night helping them to get quality sleep.
If you think that either you or a loved one might be suffering
from sleep apnea, you should consult with a physician on
diagnosis and treatment options.
