Snoring…Sleep Apnea… High Blood Pressure…Heartburn…Stroke…Heart Attack…Death.\u00a0 There is a statistical corralation between sleep apnea and heart attack.\u00a0 A person has 7 times the normal risk for heart attack if they are overweight, 7.8 times higher with hypertension, 11 times higher with smoking and a 23.3 times higher chance of having a heart attack if you have sleep apnea.\u00a0 <\/strong>Apnea means “without breath”.\u00a0\u00a0If you do not breathe for a period of 10 seconds, this is defined as “apnea” or an apneic episode.\u00a0 If you average 5-15 of these episodes in an hour of sleep, you are diagnosed with “mild” sleep apnea. 16-30 episodes per hour is moderate\u00a0sleep apnea and over 30 episodes is considered severe.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The average age of death for a person that has untreated sleep apnea is 55.\u00a0 Think of all the famous people who died in their sleep.\u00a0 You do not have to snore to also have sleep apnea.\u00a0 Taking this simple test can help determine your risk for sleep apnea.\u00a0 If you score higher than 10, then call our office for a consultation.\u00a0 Your life may depend upon it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
