Learn more about the dangers of sleep apnea side effects

By Sam Kappel


There are many dangers involved with sleep apnea side effects and I am going to discuss them. First over 18 million Americans struggle with some form of sleep apnea. The side effects that come along with it can be very dangerous. Some of these side effects can even be life threatening if they are left untreated. A big factor for many people with sleep apnea is obesity. Over 50% of people who suffer from sleep apnea are obese. It is important to get this sleep disorder treated before the side effects become dangerous.

There are several side effects associated with sleep apnea, but I am only going to name some of the more dangerous and common ones. If left untreated sleep apnea can become a major health risk and even life threatening. Here are some of the major side effects:

1.) Heart Attack

2.) Stroke

3.) Irregular heart beating

4.) Diabetes

5.) High Blood Pressure

6.) Depression

7.) Loud snoring

8.) Day time tiredness

9.) Foggy head

10.) Weight gain

11.) Depression

12.) Heart failure

13.) Spinal injuries

14.) Heart failure

15.) Depression

16.) Spine and brain-stem problems

17.) Angry sleep partner

18.) Heart Failure

When the airway is blocked duh to sleep apnea, you stop breathing. When breathing stops regularly you are not getting enough oxygen into your body. When oxygen levels drop many bad side effects come with it. This is just one reason to treat sleep apnea as soon as possible.

One of the biggest causes of these side effects is stress. The lack of good sleep causes a lot of stress on the body. There are some bad hormones that come with stress. One is Cortisol and this is a big factor in weight gain and other side effects. Stress does not help many of the health issues listed above.

If do not know if you have sleep apnea it is important to get checked out before these side effects cause you harm. If you already have sleep apnea, and want to avoid these dangerous side effects, it is important to treat your condition.

There are different types of options to treat sleep apnea. Find what option works best for you and what works for you.
