The last estimate was that over 20 million Americans suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. You can have Hendersonville NC Obstructive Sleep Apnea and not even realize it.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is one of two different types of sleep apnea. It occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the nose or mouth during sleep, even while efforts to breathe continue. Airway collapse may be due to such factors as a large tongue, extra tissue in the airway, or decreased muscle tone holding the airway open. As a result, air is prevented from getting into the lungs. These pauses in breathing can happen 30 times or more per hour. When healthy sleep is interrupted in this way, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and other serious health conditions may increase. It’s imperative that Hendersonville NC Obstructive Sleep Apnea is treated if you have it and if you don’t know, but suspect you do, then you should be tested.
