Sleep apnea

Do you or someone you love snore during sleep?  Does that person feel fatigued/exhausted every morning?  Is his memory slipping?  Have you considered this person might have sleep apnea?  Diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea can improve quality of life and decrease stress on the person’s body.

According to the University of Texas Health Leader letter, sleep apnea affects more than 18 million American adults.  Children can suffer from sleep apnea if they have enlarged tonsils and adenoids.  Most people dealing with sleep apnea are adults over age 40.  Some people, not all, who have sleep apnea are overweight.    

The next few posts will talk about sleep apnea and treatments.  Next time will cover "what is sleep apnea and what causes it"
