Sleep Apnea: A Dangerous Disorder
Sleep apnea affects the lives of millions of people. Untreated sleep apnea can cause many other health problems. Indeed, untreated sleep apnea costs Americans 22 billion dollars annually. The misperception that sleep apnea is merely a snoring problem is far from the truth. A person with this condition not only snores, but also completely stops breathing for short intervals of time. This can happen hundreds of time throughout the night. The long-term effects this has on the body should not be ignored.
