Are you tired of being tired? Sleep apnea might be the sneaky culprit stealing your precious Zzzs! Let’s shed some light on this mysterious sleep saboteur!
Apnea is a severe sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and resumes. The word “apnea” derives from the Greek meaning “breathless”. As a result, you run out of oxygen, which triggers a survival response that briefly awakens you so you can start breathing again. While that reflex keeps you alive, that response also disrupts your sleep pattern. It hinders you from getting a good night’s sleep and may have other adverse effects, such as straining your heart, which may have fatal results.
If you think you might have sleep apnea, schedule your appointment at St. Elizabeth Hospital Sleep Laboratory via 0919-071-8861.
