Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is an epidemic affecting millions, are you one of them? Do you wake up feeling tired or sleepy? If so, you may suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder marked by an interruption of breathing throughout the sleep cycle. Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Snoring
- Daytime Sleepiness or fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Forgetfulness
- Restless sleep
- Gasping for Air during sleep
- Depression
- Feeling irritable
- Night sweats
- Dry mouth or sore throat in the morning
- Headaches in the morning
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) affects an estimated 26-37% of American adults1,2. OSA can be life threatening if left untreated, yet it often goes undiagnosed. Most people don’t even know they suffer from OSA, or the very real dangers they live with. For those with sleep apnea, collapsed tissue within the throat obstructs the airway resulting in interrupted breathing during sleep.
Good sleep is vital to health, yet millions are deprived, their sleep is interrupted by their body waking up to breathe.
