About Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is an involuntary cessation of breathing that occurs during a person’s sleep. People that suffer from sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly while they sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. To diagnose sleep apnea, a patient must go to a sleep laboratory or conduct a home sleep study for a doctor to definitively diagnose sleep apnea and its severity. If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause a host of other issues, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, weight gain and frequent headaches. As with anyone that doesn’t get enough sleep, someone suffering from sleep apnea is more prone to job impairment or poor performance and runs the risk of endangering their life or the life of others in a motor vehicle accident.
Once officially diagnosed, sleep apnea can be treated, therefore reducing the health and safety risks. One of the most common treatments for sleep apnea is a continuous positive airway pressure machine, or CPAP. The CPAP machine is worn at night and delivers mild air pressure to keep the airways open.
