Researchers suspect that as many as 22 million Americans are living with some type of obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA. If you think that you may have OSA, but you’re putting off treatment, stop waiting and worrying. There’s a solution: it’s sleep apnea treatment from Millennium Smiles in Frisco, Texas.
The bottom line is that leaving sleep apnea untreated can result in more serious health problems, including a higher risk of diabetes, heart attack, heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Untreated sleep apnea has also been linked to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
Sleep apnea prevents your body from getting the sleep it needs to function and restore your cells, organs, and tissues, but it also stops you from getting the oxygen it needs to keep things running smoothly. Lack of oxygen also causes premature cell death – which puts you at risk of severe health issues, too.
In most cases, people living with sleep apnea don’t even know they have the condition until they have a serious health and often life-changing health event such as a heart attack, stroke or they just have received a diabetes diagnosis.
If you see signs of health problems or the symptoms of sleep problems, it’s time to call Millennium Smiles in Frisco, Texas, for a consultation and to talk about treating your condition.
Many people living with sleep apnea also have high blood pressure, depression, unexplained weight gain, difficulty losing weight, and elevated liver enzyme levels.
