Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Approximately 20 million Americans suffer from a common,
often undiagnosed, problem – Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS).
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a potentially
life threatening and life altering condition that causes a person to stop
breathing repeatedly during sleep. As a result, the body does not get enough
oxygen. This can lead to several conditions:
- High Blood Pressure
- Memory Loss
- Heart Disease
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Fatigue-related automobile and work accidents
- Decreased quality of life
- Impotence and decreased libido
The good news is that OSAS is treatable, and there is
relief. Sleep studies done at Sunrise Sleep Diagnostics can help diagnose your
problem and recommend proper treatment for sleep deprivation and other sleep
apnea problems.
