Below is a list of health problems that we often encounter suffered a friend or relative, perhaps even by ourselves. Medically traditionally we would think that these diseases are caused by dietary factors or lack of exercise. But the latest discoveries in the field of sleep health has found that disturbances during sleep can cause dangerous diseases. Disorders trivial but less attention should in society. What is it?
Snoring!
Snoring!
Everywhere we find the snorer. Fat, skinny, men, women, children or the elderly. Because it affects 1 in 5 people in America according to Young and Peppard. We do not have exact data. But definitely, very much. A lot is not normal. And also not all that dangerous snoring know.
Snoring and excessive sleepiness are two main symptoms of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea means stopping breathing during sleep, can have a direct impact on the health and quality of life.
Sleep apnea occurs when the muscles of the airway during sleep limp. As a result of airway narrowing to clog consequently no air can pass. Episodes of stopping breathing can occur for 10 seconds to over a minute. Because tightness, the brain will wake up for a moment to draw breath, unwitting sufferers. As a result, the process was so disjointed and the patient will feel sleepy during the day. Stopping breathing can occur hundreds of times in the night.
Stopping breathing period this cause drastic changes in oxygen levels and blood pressure of a person. If sleep apnea is left, your body will continue to be burdened and can ultimately lead to many diseases. Here are 8 health risks associated with sleep apnea:
High blood pressure.
Various studies have shown that sleep apnea is one of the main causes of hypertension. Increased blood pressure is directly related to the severity of sleep apnea. The more severe degree of sleep apnea, the more weight is also an increase in blood pressure.
Increased blood pressure can also be experienced by children who suffer from sleep apnea. Since 2003 through the JNC 7 document, the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure sleep apnea has included as one of the main causes of hypertension. Since then, treatment of sleep apnea is included in the management of hypertension.
Heart disease.
Untreated sleep apnea is a risk factor for heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States in 2005. Sleep apnea increases the risk of irregular heartbeat, coronary heart disease, heart attack and congestive heart disease. A study in 2006 revealed in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology mentions that sleep apnea even affect a person's heart shape. Sleep apnea sufferers heart swell and thicken the walls on one side, and reduced pumping ability.
Stroke.
Sleep apnea increases a person's risk for stroke (cause of death in the United States in 2005. 3) Increased blood viscosity in patients with sleep apnea is a major cause of the increased risk of stroke.
Brain damage.
Research in the journal Sleep in 2008 provides an overview of brain imaging proves irreversible damage to the brains of people with sleep apnea. Damage occurs in the brain that control memory, emotion and blood pressure.
Depression.
Research shows that depression is common in patients with sleep apnea. Even mild sleep apnea alone is increasing the risk of depression. Increased risk of depression will increase with increasing severity experienced breathing stopped.
Diabetes.
Sleep apnea is going to interfere with the body's metabolism to not tolerate glucose and insulin resistance. Diabetes type 2, also one of the main causes of death, occurs when the body can not use insulin effectively. Various studies have also shown that sleep apnea is very likely to be the cause of diabetes. In June 2008, the International Diabetes Federation has issued a guidebook for all health workers around the world pay attention to the possibility of sleep apnea in patients with diabetes.
Overweight.
Obesity, the Caucasian race (European) becomes a major risk of sleep apnea. But not so in the Asian race which has a narrow jaw structure and a short neck. The problem, sleep apnea will increase a person's weight. Metabolic disorders due process fragmented sleep causes changes in hormones that control appetite. Drowsiness caused also causes the sufferer so lazy to exercise.
Death.
Two research in the journal Sleep in 2008 showed that people with sleep apnea have a higher risk of death than those who did not snore. Risk will increase with an increase in the severity of stopping breathing. Especially if sleep apnea is left alone! While deaths from workplace accidents and traffic accidents must also be considered. In the UK, local authorities will hold temporary SIM sleep apnea patients, until the treatment is done.
Treatment begins with an examination of sleep apnea sleep in a sleep laboratory. A careful examination of sleep will distinguish regular snoring with sleep apnea or snoring. We were able to get the degree of severity and character of a person's breathing stopped. While the effects on sleep brain waves and heart work during sleep was also analyzed.
Treatment of sleep apnea can be done through several alternatives. Among surgery, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or dental appliances. In the meantime, the gold standard treatment is to use CPAP, with a very high success rate. Various studies have shown that the use of CPAP would reduce a person's risk of suffering from dangerous diseases that have been mentioned earlier.
