Exploring the Basics of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea isn't just about snoring; it's a serious condition that can impact every facet of your health. At Palmetto Sleep, we're not just dental experts; we're your partners in achieving a restful night's sleep. Understanding sleep apnea is the first step toward reclaiming your nights and improving your days.
Recognizing Sleep Apnea Symptoms
Do you snore loudly enough to wake yourself up at night? Do you find yourself exhausted during the day, even after a full night's sleep? These could be signs of sleep apnea, a condition not to be taken lightly. For a more detailed look at how this disorder could be affecting your life, explore our insightful page on "How Sleep Apnea Affects Health".
What are the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?
Detecting sleep apnea can be a bit tricky. However, we have tried to outline some symptoms. Check if you have any of them.
A Long History of Snoring Is Associated with You
Not all snorers are sleep apnea patients. However, every sleep apnea patient is a snorer. You need to realize the difference between these two thoughts. It is not necessary that if you snore you have sleep apnea. You might be a casual snorer. A long tiring day might cause a snoring problem. But if you have a long list of stories and a history associated with your snoring problem, you might be in trouble. Some people snore so loud that their voices can be heard on different floors of the house. Moreover, this is consistent. If this is your problem then you might be a sleep apnea patient. Consulting a doctor would clear things out.
Coffee Would Not Keep You Awake During the Day
Nicotine helps to stay awake all day. However, this is not for sleep apnea. Several cups of coffee would be useless if you are a patient. Passing the day would be a big trouble because of the tired feeling you have. You will feel sleepy no matter how long you sleep. Nicotine becomes useless and indicates sleep apnea.
Your Spouse Might Tell You
Doctors say that most patients learn about this problem from their spouse. This is called witness apnea in scientific terms. Since you are sleeping and snoring loudly, your partner can tell you that the next morning. Otherwise, you might not know it for a long time.
Consistent Hypertension
Sleep apnea is one of the biggest threats to hypertension. If you are a patient with high blood pressure, the situation gets worse. If you are not a patient, then get ready to be one because sleep apnea causes hypertension. The two disorders are linked. One will be the reason for the other.
Insomnia or Disturbed Sleep
You might also feel restless or sleepless at night. The severe cases embrace insomnia as well. If you have any issues with your sleep like these two, find a sleep apnea treatment near you and get this disorder treated right away.
