Know More About Sleep Apnea California Treatment

By Robert Powell


If you find yourself feeling out of sorts in the morning, chronically fatigued, or unable to concentrate on even the simplest tasks, you may be suffering from one of two distinct forms of apnea. Obstructive apnea literally means that during your sleep, something physical blocks your airway, cutting off needed oxygen for a full and complete rest. This could be enlarged tonsils or your tongue shifting momentarily. The loss of air in apnea only lasts seconds and the snoring occurs when the air flow is restored. It is advisable to seek medical help from sleep apnea California as soon as you can.

Conservative estimations by the World Health Organization are that as many as one-hundred million individuals may be struggling with one or more types of this condition. This can be associated with very special problems for workers within performance-related jobs and especially in the commercial trucking industry, air carriers and pilots, air-traffic control and other transport related industries along with other high-stress occupations.

Air sliding past the obstruction is what leads to the rumbling sound associated with snoring. The brain senses the actual drop of oxygen within the blood and 'wakes' a person up with a 'urgent situation' signal in order to breath. Most people go immediately back to sleep, unaware that they have woken up at all. For an average sufferer, this could happen 100 times a night, or more.

For me personally, my test readings showed that I had an average rate of apnea 'events' of 95 an hour. This rate was so hard to believe that I had to be shown the test sheets several times before I could accept it. What it meant is that I virtually didn't sleep all night because my body was continually waking me up to get some air into my lungs. No wonder I was so tired all the time!

Lots of people with diabetic issues and coronary heart trouble are merely diagnosed and treated for these conditions with no effort to look for the underlying causes, and in many cases, the common medications for these conditions can in fact, aggravate this condition.

Also, lots of people do not recognize it as a cause for their own problems. General knowledge of this serious rest problem is just now starting to be available to a widening audience; and lastly silence - many transport workers wouldn't report chronic tiredness for fear of losing their drivers licenses, work, or positions.

Continuously low oxygen levels can lead to a loss in equilibrium, chronic fatigue, and memory loss. Oxygen is required in the blood to aid in healing and in fighting off infections. Longterm condition can compromise your immune system to where it can no longer resist viruses, bacteria, and infections, which can lead to more serious complications later on.

Unless an individual admits they fell asleep at the wheel, the actual accident is going to be reported as being an improper lane change, speeding, or other driver error. Regrettably, there is little an individual can do regarding other drivers on the road but you can take care of your own health and that of your family. But if everybody would do that, the problem may improve significantly.
