Discover how to cope with Sleep Apnea
By Valerie Macleod
Sleep apnea is a condition which is more common than is realised (even some doctors do not always recognise it). There are many sufferers who themselves do not know that they have the problem. They may suffer from disturbed sleep without being aware of it or even knowing why.
Some of the symptoms which may be indicative of sleep apnea are:-
Excessive snoring.
Being woken momentarily from sleep gasping for breath or feeling a choking sensation.
Constant interruptions in sleep.
Suffering from a dry mouth during nightime hours.
Wakening in the morning still feeling tired as if you had not slept at all.
Excessive daytime fatigue.
Feeling drowsy during the day and nodding off.
Even if some of these problems have been experienced it does not necessarily mean they are due to sleep apnea, but it is as well having it checked out. The condition can be serious but the most common is known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) which is caused by an obstruction of oxygen to the airways, usually because of some physical condition.
This can be enlarged tonsils, relaxed throat muscles, or the tongue preventing the air from reaching the lungs and making it more difficult to breathe, to something as simple as a bad sleeping position, on the back, for example, Overweight very often is a contributory factor, resulting in more soft and fatty tissue in the throat and neck area which can create an air blockage.
Various methods of treatment are available from dental devices to correct the position of the jaw and tongue, masks worn to provide a regular supply of oxygen to the sleeper, or even surgery to correct facial deformities.
A good number of hours of quality sleep is essential to our well-being, but going to bed a few hours earlier will not help if the cause of the disturbed sleep is not resolved. The difference after a good night's sleep is revitalised energy levels and the daytime improvements make you feel brighter, more alert and more alive. When did you last feel like that?
Discover how one sufferer of sleep apnea for many years, developed his own program (which even amazed doctors) to overcome his sleep problems and disturbed nights. With his simple routine, you can make changes for your betterment so why would you want to continue as you are?
