If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea it is important that you become familiar with the many ways this sleep disorder can negatively affect your life. Patients who become too dismissive of the problem can quickly find themselves struggling with a variety of symptoms, both those that appear immediately and those that develop as a result of neglecting the issue for quite some time. Fortunately, by seeking treatment with us, you can enjoy symptom relief, improved nightly sleep, and protection from health concerns.
Daily Exhaustion
Think about all of the ways a poor night of sleep can affect your daily quality of life due to sleep apnea. Now multiply that by the amount of nights you have experienced interrupted sleep – you will quickly find that you are walking through life while suffering from sleep deprivation.
Unfortunately, this means that the many areas of your life that require your full attention and concentration may quickly fall by the wayside. Friends and romantic partners may find that you become moody, which can place strain on relationships. You may also have trouble in your career or school as a result of difficulty focusing on even simple work. And, of course, you will deal with daily fatigue that can significantly impact your ability to feel good and enjoy your life.
Health Problems
When you go to sleep, your body has time to rest and regenerate. If you suffer from sleep apnea, your body is not making it through the necessary sleep cycles that promote physical health and mental acuity. The side effects may include serious health concerns, including liver problems, cardiac issues, and even high blood pressure. Rather than risking your health, we encourage you to visit us for comfortable, non-invasive sleep apnea treatment.
