Great resource book
Snoring Can Kill is very informative about the cause and dangers of sleep apnea. It includes a detailed description of the sleep study. Goldstein said "There are safe and effective medical solutions readily available to help a person stop snoring." However, no safe and effective solutions were offered. Suggested treatments have been proven to not be very successful. This book is a good resource book for sleep centers, respiratory therapists and the Sleep Disorders Dental Society members. ...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), the partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, affects 2% of women and 4% of men. Despite the prevalence, disabling symptoms, and substantial associated morbidity and mortality of OSAS, moderate to severe cases are undiagnosed in an estimated 80% of men and 90% of women. In this article, Drs Attarian and Sabri define OSAS, review its presentation, and discuss treatment options. When to suspect obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: symptoms may be subtle, but treatment is straightforward. Attarian HP, Sabri AN. Postgrad Med 2002;111(3):70-6 ... Read more

Have You Been Told Over And Over Again That You Snore A Lot, But You Choose To Ignore It?

Have you been experiencing lack of sleep at night and find yourself waking up in the wee hours of the morning to find yourself gasping for air? You have a few more hours to sleep before it's time to get up, but you're having difficulty going back to sleep. You realize that it's only 1:30 in the morning. It is still dark and you are the only one struggling to get some more shut eye.

You could possibly be suffering from sleep apnea and not even know it. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes you to stop breathing for short intervals. This disorder is not easily detected because it happens while you are sleeping. If your condition goes untreated, you can suffer serious medical issues later on.

In this guide on Sleep Apnea, you will find out what this sleep disorder is about and what you can do to treat it.

* Four things that can put you at risk for developing sleep apnea

* The three types of categories of sleep apnea

* Signs and symptoms of sleep apnea

* Why it is more than just chronic snoring to diagnose this sleep disorder

* How one of the sleep apnea categories affects the throat muscles

* What happens when you have low levels of oxygen

Excerpt: Sleep apnea (or sleep apnoea in British English) is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Each episode, called an apnea (Greek: (ápnoia), from - (a-), privative, (pnéein), to breathe), lasts long enough so that one or more breaths are missed, and such episodes occur repeatedly throughout sleep. The standard definition of any apneic event includes a minimum 10-second interval between breaths, with either a neurological arousal (a 3-second or greater shift in EEG frequency, measured at C3, C4, O1, or O2) or a blood oxygen desaturation of 34% or greater, or both arousal and desaturation. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or a "sleep study". Clinically significant levels of sleep apnea are defined as five or more episodes per hour of any type of apnea (from the polysomnogram). There are three distinct forms of sleep apnea: central, obstructive, and complex (i.e., a combination of central and obstructive) constituting 0.4%, 84% and 15% of cases respectively.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In medicine, a pulsus paradoxus (PP), also paradoxic pulse and paradoxical pulse, is an exaggeration of the normal variation in the pulse during the inspiratory phase of respiration, in which the pulse becomes weaker as one inhales and stronger as one exhales. It is a sign that is indicative of several conditions including cardiac tamponade, pericarditis, chronic sleep apnea, croup, and obstructive lung disease (e.g. asthma, COPD). The paradox in pulsus paradoxus is that, on clinical examination, one can detect beats on cardiac auscultation during inspiration that cannot be palpated at the radial pulse. ... Read more
