The awareness for sleep apnea is rather low with the general public across the United States. This is something that needs to change as it can greatly improve the health of this nation if more people realized they were suffering with a very serious sleep disordered breathing condition.
Most people just don’t understand that they are leaving themselves vulnerable to a malady of health problems by not seeking treatment. In California however it seems that many more people are becoming aware of the deadly potential lurking in sleep apnea. Dr. Bollinger, who treats sleep apnea in Newport Beach, has reported that a much larger percentage of her patient base is asking about this condition and what can be done about it.
California is a progressive state that always seems to be ahead of the curve so its not much of a surprise that its’ residents are becoming more aware that the snoring they hear from their partners is actually indicative of something much worse.
Dr. Bollinger is reporting that her patients are overjoyed when they realize how good they feel because they are actually getting proper sleep. And on a personal note for many people getting proper treatment is now allowing them to comfortably sleep in the same bed as their spouse or partner once again! Sleep apnea forces so many people to sleep in guest bedrooms or on the couch as the snoring will cause their partners to get terrible sleep as well. Another side effect of getting good treatment is weight loss; most people do not know there is a link between gaining weight and getting unhealthy and poor sleep.
Sleep is essential to life and something that the body needs every day to maintain proper health; those with apnea end up having sleep harm them instead of help as its supposed to. The point to be made is to seek treatment.
