Snoring is often dismissed as a mere annoyance, but it can be a significant indicator of sleep apnea—a condition that disrupts sleep and poses serious health risks. At DaVinci Wellness Centre, we specialize in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, helping individuals achieve restful sleep and improved overall health.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur multiple times per hour. The two primary types are:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The more common form, caused by the relaxation of throat muscles leading to airway blockage.
- Central Sleep Apnea: Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to muscles controlling breathing.
Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, excessive daytime fatigue, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating.
Health Implications of Untreated Sleep Apnea
Ignoring sleep apnea can lead to severe health issues, such as:
- Cardiovascular Problems: Increased risk of hypertension, heart attacks, and strokes.
- Daytime Fatigue: Persistent tiredness affects daily activities and increases accident risk.
- Metabolic Disorders: Higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes and obesity.
- Liver Issues: Potential for abnormal liver function and fatty liver disease.
