The Dangers And Treatment Of Sleep Apnea California

By Robert Powell


Sleep apnea is a severe medical condition that's only now starting to be recognized as a potential time bomb on our roads. Unfortunately, It is sometimes seen as just a trend inappropriately focused on what was once considered just a common quirk... Loud snoring. We now know that snoring could be an indicator of more grave health issues. No wonder it is always advisable to seek medical help from sleep apnea California if you suspect something not right.

If you are diagnosed with this condition then which kind of condition you may have isn't important. The treatment for all three types, typically, is easy, relatively inexpensive, and maybe a few lifestyle changes that might be good for anybody, in any case. There are no costly medications, and usually no invasive methods (e. G. Surgery) But if you follow the treatment prescribed then there should be a general enhancement in your enjoyment of living.

The second kind, central apnea, happens when your brain fails to send the proper signals to continue your breathing. You might think that breathing is automatic, but it really depends on your, telling you to. This kind of condition, as well as the obstructive kind, is best diagnosed by undergoing a sleep study.

For me personally, my test readings showed that I had an average rate of apnea 'events' of 95 an hour. This rate was so hard to believe that I had to be shown the test sheets several times before I could accept it. What it meant is that I virtually didn't sleep all night because my body was continually waking me up to get some air into my lungs. No wonder I was so tired all the time!

Lots of people with diabetic issues and coronary heart trouble are merely diagnosed and treated for these conditions with no effort to look for the underlying causes, and in many cases, the common medications for these conditions can in fact, aggravate this condition.

Also, lots of people do not recognize it as a cause for their own problems. General knowledge of this serious rest problem is just now starting to be available to a widening audience; and lastly silence - many transport workers wouldn't report chronic tiredness for fear of losing their drivers licenses, work, or positions.

Without treatment this condition can have a pronounced effect on daily operations, for example driving, operating equipment, as well as detail-work. A person struggling with the untreated condition can be as impaired as somebody with a blood alcohol content of 0.1% or even more, which is sufficient in most locations to be considered driving while drunk. It is not possible at present to know the exact numbers for mishaps, especially deadly ones, which are caused by this condition, simply because law enforcement officials don't list this as a cause.

Weight gain is one of the more serious complications possible for sufferers of this condition. A lack of energy leads to a lack of caring about getting the right nutrients, the right foods, and exercise is out of the question. Weight gain combined with disorder can make you more at risk for developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart arrhythmias over time, as well. Every single part of your life can be disastrously affected by this condition, and to leave it go untreated is gambling to the nth degree.
