Have you ever fall asleep while driving? or do every time you wake up

you get a headache ? If you feel so may be you have Sleep apnea. What

is that? Sleep apnea means that you stop breathing when you are

sleeping for about 10 seconds or more, in other words it's the

cessation of breath when sleeping . This may happen from 5 to 50 times

per hour. This problem could be mild or severe, and this depends on

how many times each hour you stop breathing and how many times air

don't get to your lungs.

 

There are 2 types of sleep apnea. One is Central Sleep apnea, this is

the less common type. Usually this occur on people who have heart

failure, stroke, or have a brain tumor or infection. The other type is

Obstructive sleep apnea, this is the most common type. This article

will focus on this type of Sleep apnea. However, some of the

treatments in this article may also be helpful for central sleep apnea.

 

The Cause

 

There are several things that can cause obstructive sleep apnea and it

can be different for adult and children. One that can cause sleep

apnea is blocked or narrowed airways in your nose, mouth or throat.

Your airway can be blocked when the throat muscles and tongue relax

when you are sleeping.

If you feel tired all the time, if you wake up just as tired (or more

tired) than you were when you went to sleep, if you regularly have

vivid and horrifying nightmares, it might be sleep apnea!

 

Consult a sleep apnea specialist. I had been complaining of tiredness

for months... years... was treated for mild anemia, worked on getting

my blood sugar under better control, had tests, took sleeping pills,

all kinds of stuff THEN got tested for sleep apnea and found that, yes,

I would stop breathing in my sleep.

 

Interestingly enough, by studying my brain waves, they figured out that

there was a direct correlatlion between my nightmares and the episodes

of not breathing. Possibly the lack of air triggered the nightmares and

they, in turn, made me wake up and start breathing again!

 

If you feel tired all the time, consider being checked for sleep apnea!

It's made a real difference in my life!!
