Sleep apnea is a very common \u2013 affecting more than 12 million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health, and a vast majority of these individuals remain untreated. Sleep apnea is more common in those who are overweight, and the likelihood of developing the disorder increases with age.<\/p>

People with sleep apnea can stop breathing from a few to several hundred times during the night, for a matter of seconds or more than one minute at a time. When this happens, the oxygen levels in the blood decrease and carbon dioxide increases \u2013 putting additional strain on the heart, blood vessels and nervous system. Sleep apnea not only compromises your health but can also make other illnesses more severe difficult to threat.<\/p>

Sleep deprivation can affect every area of your life: mental concentration, physical fitness, personal relationships, work performance and safety. Left untreated, sleep apnea can have serious health risks including high blood pressure, obesity, heart problems and increased chance of stroke.<\/p>

Sleep apnea can be cured through lifestyle changes, surgery or breathing devices. Treatment can provide not only better quality sleep, but also increased energy levels, better overall health and quality of life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
