Sleep Apnea: Killing You While You Sleep
Why is Sleep Apnea Important?
Sleep apnea affects 20 million people in the United States, although less than 50% of them know
it. In its most common form, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, increased movement of the posterior
pharynx during sleep causes breathing to become blocked or "obstructed." This causes the
amount of oxygen in the blood to fall, causing the brain, heart and blood vessels to become
deprived of oxygen. Over a long period of time (months to years) this condition can lead to heart
attack, stroke, high blood pressure, confusion, obesity, depression and many other health
problems.
