“Sleep Apnea” is a disease that we do not know much about. But very few know that it could be dangerous for one’s physical as well as psychological health?

“Sleep Apnea” is a respiratory disease related to the breathing function of your body resulting in sleepiness during the day causing inability to work by remaining active physically. If this disease aggravates it paves the way for other serious diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke etc.

There are a number of patients in India and Overseas who are totally under the grip of this disease and are being treated regularly through other branches of medicine.

Sleep Apnea is basically of two types: Central and Obstructive. In Central Sleep Apnea the brain fails to send signals to the breathing muscles and it is known to be less common among patients. In Obstructive Sleep Apnea air is obstructed from flowing into and out of the nose resulting in the reduction of oxygen level in the body causing the patient to snore loudly at night. This condition in a person basically persists in lying position and the highest percentage if it is prevalent among patients all over the globe. Men are more prone to get sleep apnea in their life span and are the highest percentage among the patients.
