Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea affects more than 12 million Americans. Sleep apnea is when the brain believes that you have stopped breathing. The brain then wakes you up momentarily to resume normal breathing functions.

This is caused by soft throat tissue collapses and closes during sleep. Individuals with this problem are rarely conscious of it happening. This can happen hundreds of times during the night and individuals are rarely conscious of it happening.

Problems associated with this condition can include weight gain, impotency, memory problems, and headaches. Sleep apnea can be diagnosed by your family doctor and treatment options are available.
