Discounting the Presence of Sleep Apnea
Published by Brian Yalung January 12th, 2008 in How to sleep better, Insomnia, Sleep Apnea.
We hear about sleep apnea everywhere. While we are being educated with the effects that this sleep disorder provides, it would be best to check ourselves in advance if we may have symptoms of this sleep depriving disease.
Many will say that nothing beats knowing your own health better, but just the same, we can never tell when this sleep disorder may strike. Sleep apnea is no joke and going ahead and trying to determine on whether it indeed exists in our bodies is the best thing we can do to avoid complications in the end.
Risk factors include:
_Loud snoring and choking or gasping during sleep, signaling narrowed airways that can be temporarily blocked as throat muscles relax too much.
_Being overweight.
_A family history of apnea.
_Having small airways. Apnea can occur at any age, and in children, enlarged tonsils or adenoids may cause narrowed airways. In adults, weight, neck shape or other medical conditions can play a role.
_High blood pressure.
