Middle aged and elderly men need to be mindful of the newest research on sleep apnea. Sleep apnea, in its simplest definition, is a disorder which causes loss of breath or shallow breathing while you sleep. The loss of breath may last only a few seconds or up to a few minutes, anywhere from 5-30 times an hour, three or more nights of the week.
Sleep apnea occurs in approximately one in four men and one in ten women. Generally those suffering from sleep apnea also have high blood pressure and/or cardiovascular disease.
Sleep apnea is often revealed by a person snoring, having interrupted breathing or disrupted sleep. The newest research revealed that sleep apnea can close to double the risk of chronic disease and early death in the male gender! Even a mild sleep apnea can cause a 17% increased death risk compared to those who sleep soundly at night with no breathing problems.
Sleep apnea, is difficult to diagnose
in a doctor’s visit and there are no blood tests which can confirm a diagnosis. You many need to rely on your spouse who may know your sleeping pattern better than you do! If any of the above symptoms reflect your night’s sleep you may want to do some research into solutions. The solution may be as easy as a new pillow!
