Sleep apnea is a problem that millions of Americans are currently dealing with. There are also millions more who have sleep apnea but are unaware of it. The major symptoms and signs of sleep apnea are excessive snoring, loud snoring and gasping for breath while sleeping. This ailment can have the potential to cause death; the tongue can block the airway in ones throat, this stops breathing and also makes the patient snore loudly.
This results in a much interrupted sleep cycle as the patients natural reflex is to wake up after they stop breathing. What’s unfortunate for victims of sleep apnea is not only are they affected but also their loved ones. Loud constant snoring keeps sleep apnea victim’s partners awake as well; many people report having to sleep in separate beds so at least one of them can get good sleep.
