(Medical-NewsWire.com, May 05, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- A new series of studies have been undertaken to handle the affliction of excessive snoring,
which can disrupt sleep and cause varying health problems.
A study from Dr. Visasiri on the prevalence of sleep apnea among 3,000 individual, showed that more than 10% of participants had varying levels of the sleeping disorder. Those aged 40 to 55
who were obese, high blood pressure were the most afflicted demographic.
Having particular physical features, including but not limited to a smaller throat, a more inflamed or larger soft palate, both of which can cause narrowed airways, were also more likely to have the affliction.
"My daughter told me that she could hear my breath catch once in awhile during the night when she passed my bedroom. That sometimes scared her as she thought that I had stopped
breathing," said Wanchai, a 69-year-old retired army officer.
He stated that he felt exhausted, even after sleeping, and a feeling of fatigue persisted throughout the day, making it hard to gain a proper sleeping schedule. "I felt drowsy by the late
afternoon. I thought I'd slept well the previous night but still wanted to sleep," he said.
Wanchai decided to look for help from a specialist to see if his condition could be handled, after being pushed by his kids. The result found that he in fact had an interrupted breathing pattern
during his sleep. The condition, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not uncommon, but can come with a range of health concerns.
"Since OSA occurs when people are asleep, they are not aware of it," said Dr Visasiri Tantrakul, adding, "Most of my patients come to see me because people who sleep in the same room or share the same bed with them want them to see a professional. They cannot stand their loud snores.”
Dr. McEvoy stated that while people seem to see snoring as more of an annoyance, the underlying or resulting complications can be a severe problem when it comes to cardiovascular health. Since individuals with apnea have interrupted breathing, their breath is actually blocked for short periods of time. Such an obstruction of breathing means a lowered level of overall oxygen is supplied to the body. Over longer periods of time, this can mean increased blood pressure and generally adds stress to the cardiovascular system.
''We know that people with sleep apnoea don't sleep well at night. People who are chronically tired are not productive. Students cannot learn effectively if they have sleep apnea. Adults
cannot turn up for work. If they do turn up, their brain is not present,'' said Dr McEvoy.
