Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea has apparently become alarming in the past years and if people, especially the men are not careful, the consequences of putting their lives at risk may grow as each day passes by. Most of this obstructive sleep apnea has been traced towards difficulty in breathing and while many find it normal to date, it really has health risks that most people should start to be aware off.

Sleep specialists are the best people to approach to understand sleep apnea better. Proper diagnosis of what potential threats through the use of machines such as the polysomnography helps identify the sleep patterns and the spells of difficulty in breathing. We all know that snoring has become common but to avoid complications, it is better to visit our sleep doctor as soon as we can to eliminate any controversial health risks that may be involved.

Men bear the brunt of obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep disorder, which is twice as common in men as in women, causes some 12 million Americans to temporarily and repeatedly stop breathing while they sleep. The condition may seem at first blush like a mere annoyance; it can cause heavy snoring and daytime drowsiness. But medical authorities warn that it can be lethal, as it’s linked to increased risk of cardiovascular problems, stroke, and accidents.

Many of us tend are not aware that while we are sleeping. Among this is this common sleep disorder we hear as sleep apnoea. For the benefit of the people who are unaware of what sleep apnoea is, it is a sleeping disorder caused by abnormalities in breathing while a person is in this meditative stage.

We all tend to overlook this part of our everyday living. Usually, sleep disorders can be attributed to various reasons. Some of them can be traced towards stress, while others coming from hereditary reasons.

Sleep Apnea/ Sleep Apnoea

As explained by Wikipedia:

Sleep apnea or sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. These episodes, called apneas (literally, “without breath”), each last long enough so one or more breaths are missed, and occur repeatedly throughout sleep. The standard definition of any apneic event includes a minimum 10 second interval between breaths, with either a neurological arousal (3-second or greater shift in EEG frequency, measured at C3, C4, O1, or O2), or a blood oxygen desaturation of 3-4 percent or greater, or both arousal and desaturation. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called polysomnogram.

Clinically significant levels of sleep apnea are defined as 5 events of any type or greater per hour of sleep time (from the polysomnogram). There are two distinct forms of sleep apnea: Central and Obstructive. Breathing is interrupted by the lack of effort in Central Sleep Apnea; in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, breathing is interrupted by a physical block to airflow despite effort. In Mixed Sleep Apnea, there is a transition from central to obstructive features during the events themselves.

Regardless of type, the individual with sleep apnea is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening. Sleep apnea is recognized as a problem by others witnessing the individual during episodes or is suspected because of its effects on the body (sequelae). Symptoms may be present for years, even decades without identification, during which time the sufferer may become conditioned to the daytime sleepiness and fatigue associated with significant levels of sleep disturbance. The definitive diagnosis of sleep apnea is made by polysomnography. – Sleep Apnea
