Somnomed®

The Obstructive consequences of sleep apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) afflicts 1 in every 5 Americans.

What other problems arise for OSA patients?

Poor sleep

  • Mood disturbance resulting in depression, anxiety, PTSD, shortened attention span, moodiness and bad temper, and poorer judgement

Daytime sleepiness

  • 6-fold increase of car accidents
  • Impaired concentration and memory loss
  • Reduced work efficiency
  • Reduced alertness and slower reaction time

Loud snoring

  • Relationship discord
  • Morning headaches caused by oxygen deprivation

Obesity

  • As sleep shortens or diminishes in quality, appetite for high calorie food increases
  • Obesity is the best documented risk factor for OSA. It is estimated that 90% of obese males and 50% of obese females have OSA
  • The prevalence of OSA increases with body mass index (BMI)
  • Approximately 80% of OSA patients weigh 130% or more of their ideal body weight

Diabetes Type II

  • Lack of insulin control and poorly controlled blood sugars

Stroke

  • Men with moderate to severe OSA were nearly 3 times more likely to have a stroke
  • OSA is often found in patients following a stroke
  • Risk of stroke rises with severity of the disease

Asthma

Hypertension

  • Sleep Apnea is an identifiable cause of high blood pressure
  • OSA is the leading cause of secondary hypertension

Coronary Artery Disease

Congestive Heart Failure

  • Moderate OSA has increased mortality rates

Sudden death

  • OSA sufferers have a 30% higher risk of heart attack or premature death
  • Morbidity % mortality peak at age 55
  • More than 50% of sudden deaths from OSA occur between 10PM and 6AM
