my journey with sleep apnea

My Journey With Sleep Apnea : The Hidden Health Hazard

I remember the times when I used to frequently wake up during the night, gasping for breath. Nobody could sleep in my room due to my extremely loud snoring. These events are now a memory of a distant past !

The correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment of sleep apnea have transformed my life. Now, I know that by ignoring the tell-tale symptoms and procrastinating, I was actually playing with my life. My exposure to timely treatment has made me not only thankful but also made me realize that there may be a huge number of people who are either ignoring these symptoms or just not aware of the repercussions and impact this disease can have on a human body.

Did you know that sleep apnea is not only a major nuisance due to your snoring but also leads to serious cardiac complication and heart attacks ? Did you also know that people suffering from sleep apnea have significantly higher chances of cardiac arrest than an average, or even an overweight person ?

I didn’t hesitate to accept medical advice, and you mustn’t delay it either. If you have the above mention symptoms, please immediately consult a doctor and undergo a sleep apnea test as advised.

I was glad to learn that taking the correct sleep apnea treatment with CPAP not only improved my sleep quality but also significantly reduced the risk of heart attacks. I did not ignore these signs and took timely action. Please don’t ignore them either, and remember, addressing it now can make all the difference.
