Sleep Apnoea and Heart

Sleep apnea is a disorder in which a person’s breathing repeatedly starts and stops during sleep. It can manifest initially as snoring. One in five adults suffers from at least mild sleep apnea; it afflicts more men than women. �

Two types : Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Central Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is when, weight on the upper chest and neck contributes to blocking the flow of air.

Central sleep apnea (CSA), occurs when the brain fails to send regular signals to the diaphragm to contract and expand.

When the air flow stops, the body releases stress hormones, which over time can lead to heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. It is associated with obesity and can also lead to metabolic syndrome.

Common signs and symptoms apart from snoring are ,,,

* Waking up with a dry mouth

* Morning headaches

* Difficulty sleeping or excessive sleepiness

* Irritability or trouble paying attention while awake

So …. BEWARE!!
