Sleep Apnoea May Lead To Cardiovascular Disease
Date: 18/10/05
Sleep apnoea can mess up more than just a good night's sleep.
An HSI member named Michaele wrote to ask for alternative treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This disorder is characterised by prolonged, heavy snoring, but the accompanying health issues far surpass the annoyance that snoring causes.
The most common sleep apnoea treatment is called nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in which a device supplies a stream of air through a small plastic mask secured over the nose. This is usually effective, but it's somewhat cumbersome and can be hard to get used to. And according to Michaele: 'It has taken the romance out of my life.'
Two new studies show that Michaele may now have another effective treatment option that just might put Cupid back in business.
Sleep apnoea can lead to serious health conditions
The word 'apnoea' literally means 'without breath.
According to the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association almost 4 percent of all middle-aged men and 2 percent of women in the UK spend their nights out of breath.
People with sleep apnoea actually stop breathing during their sleep, sometimes as many as a hundred times per night, with each episode lasting a minute or longer. So part of the reason a person with sleep apnoea feels fatigued during the day is because their body hasn't been getting enough oxygen during sleeping hours.
