Sleep Apnea

Did you know that 1 in 3 people suffer from sleep problems?

Causes of Sleep Apnea

Most people need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. A possible cause of many sleep problems can be physical, psychological, or both. Other possible causes can be stress, medication, excessive drinking of caffeine, chronic medical conditions, or unknown factors. One thing is certain: if you do not sleep properly and adequately your total health will suffer!!!

Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Snoring can be a main cause of sleep problems because it interrupts breathing numerous times during the night. Many people do not realize that snoring is more than just a source of humor. It is a reflection of a significant medical problem. Snoring is associated with an increased risk of hypertension, as well as an increased risk of both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (heart problems and strokes). Your snoring may also be waking your family members causing them to have interrupted sleep patterns.

Complications of Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is also a potentially life-threatening problem that affects nearly 50% of the adult population. So what's the big deal with interrupting your sleep? Well, the human body needs CONTINUOUS sleep for at least 7-8 hours. It is during this continuous sleep that the brain and nervous system go through different stages. It is during these various stages that the nervous system helps to balance the body, by helping to heal the organs and the tissues. Without proper sleep, your body is like a car with no brakes and a constant accelerator. Eventually, it breaks down.

What can you do about this? There are multiple treatment alternatives which can be used! The very first step is to set up an appointment for a free screening. After a complete examination, we will discuss the best alternative to help you achieve the results you are looking for.

Test Yourself for Sleep Apnea

Take the following self test to see if you may be suffering from sleep problems:

1. Do you wake up with a headache?
2. Do you feel drowsy during the day?
3. Are you cranky or short tempered?
4. Do you have problems with concentration or memory?
5. Do you fall asleep at work or while driving the car?
6. Do you have heart problems or high blood pressure?
7. Are you overweight or gaining weight?
8. Do you smoke?
9. Do you drink alcohol in the evenings?
10. Do you have a hard time breathing through your nose?

IF you answered yes to one or more of the following questions you should schedule an appointment for an initial screening.
