Sleep Apnea Can Cause Problems

By Jack Stoder

Most sleeping disorders are not deadly and are mere inconveniences. That is not the case with sleep apnea however. With sleep apnea, a person actually forgets to breathe at some point during the night. It is also possible to have a mild degree of the disorder and not know it.

Like any disorder or disease, there are different degrees to which people are affected by sleep apnea. For people that have severe cases of it, there are medications you can take that will help you safely get through the night. There is also paraphernalia you can get and wear that will make sure you breathe and some people have to wear that every night. Most people never thing twice about getting a good sleep every night but those with apnea find that sleeping is more complicated.

If you wake up tired every morning, are drowsy during much of the day, have headaches when you wake up, or wake up repeatedly during the night and feel a shortness of breath, you may have sleep apnea. These are all symptoms that you may experience if you have this sleeping disorder.

One of the common ways a person figures out that something is wrong is if another person who sleeps in the same room notices that something is not right with the way you sleep. If you sleep alone, you need to pay attention to how you feel when you wake up every morning and whether you are experiencing any of the symptoms over a long period of time. It is always good advice to see your doctor if there is any doubt about the quality of your sleep.

You might also go to a sleep disorder center to have some tests done and your doctor might recommend this. It seems that many people brag about how little sleep they need but they forget how important sleep is to the body. If you are not getting enough sleep it will create stress on your body and over a period of months and years it can be very detrimental. If you feel something may not be quite right with your sleeping patterns, going to a doctor or sleep disorder center is something you should do to make sure you dont have something serious like apnea.
