Understanding Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Overview
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a significant health disorder linked to heart issues, increased stroke risk, and more. Diagnosis can only be confirmed by a physician. It occurs when a person’s airway gets blocked, leading to repeated breathing interruptions during sleep.
Symptoms
Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue and irritability
- Exhaustion and difficulty concentrating
- Loud snoring
- Waking up short of breath or gasping for air
This happens because the throat muscles and tissues block the airway, disrupting sleep.
Treatment Options
Simple Changes
- Sleep Position: Sleeping on your back can worsen symptoms. Try sleeping on your side to improve airflow.
- Weight Loss: If you’re overweight, adopting a healthy diet and exercise routine can help alleviate symptoms.
Environment Adjustments
- Allergy Management: Allergies can block airways. Remove allergens like cigarette smoke, pet hair, and dust from your home. Air filtration devices may also help.
Medical Interventions
- CPAP Machine: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices deliver constant air pressure to keep airways open.
- Sleep Genie: This nylon-lycra blend support helps keep the jaw in place and the mouth closed during sleep, complementing CPAP therapy by preventing air leakage.
