With summer knocking on your door, everyone is getting ready to enjoy the summer sun as much as possible. Some may prepare for summer by buying the right food for the barbeque, other may be visiting the gym more often to get their bodies ready for the beach, but either way, summer is known for being a platform to creating lasting memories and endless amounts of fun. The most important thing in being able to enjoy your summer is making sure you have a restful night\u2019s sleep. Many people suffer from sleep apnea<\/b> without knowing it, and it is important to be able to recognize signs of the disorder in order to handle it correctly. Dr. Gary Radz<\/a><\/b> wants his patients to be as informed as possible, being able to recognize the signs and symptoms that sleep apnea<\/b> encompasses.
\nThe most common form of sleep apnea <\/b>is OSA<\/b>, or obstructive sleep apnea<\/b>. The word \u201capnea<\/b>\u201d literally means \u201cwithout breath\u201d, so when you sleep, your body\u2019s breathing becomes interrupted for up to 10 seconds. Because this pause can happen several times in a single night, your body is left feeling more tired than it did when you went to bed. If you suffer from OSA<\/b>, when you sleep<\/b>, the soft palate in your mouth relaxes and collapses, causing your airway to become obstructed and narrower. This may cause you to snore excessively and loudly throughout the night, have short breaths, as well as other symptoms.
\nThere are many side effects associated with sleep apnea<\/b>, and none of them should be taken lightly. The effects include sudden death, increased nocturnal urination, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, and many, many more frightening health issues. If you feel as though you or your partner suffers from sleep apnea<\/b>, make an appointment with Dr. Radz<\/b> as soon as possible, and we can create a treatment plan just you.
