Orland Park IL, 15-MARCH-2014 – The Center for Sleep Medicine, Orland Park Obstructive Sleep Apnea facility, is proud to announce that they provide a range of solutions to help with the identification and alleviation of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea of this type is often linked to daytime fatigue and related symptoms. The Center does the necessary testing to identify whether or not the condition exists and what solutions could be applied.
A spokesperson for the Orland Park Obstructive Sleep Apnea center explains, "Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that results when there is a partial or complete collapse of the passageways to the throat. The cessation of breathing causes the victim to partially awaken. A common symptom is snoring because the air through the narrowed passageway causes the throat to vibrate. Sleeping partners are perhaps more aware of the problem than the victim."
"Sleep apnea is a growing problem among American adults" he continues. "More than 18 million adults are identified as suffering from the condition. A number of conditions are linked to apnea in terms of a higher risk level for heart failure, heart attack, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and accidents. There is growing evidence that obstructive sleep apnea victims shouldn't undergo surgery."
Typical therapy recommended for those with OSA begins with losing weight. Obese adults are more likely to experience episodes of OSA. Another recommendation is to use a device known as a CPAP (continuous positive airway press). This equipment is worn during sleep. It uses a light positive air pressure provided through a face mask. The air pressure helps to keep the airways open. Another device which may be recommended for OSA patients is a mandibular advancement device.
