I suffer obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This disease means you are likely to stop breathing unconsciously which you may die before you notice you are suffocated…
The doctor told me it’s a slight one and it doesn’t matter if I make proper homecare.
Anybody know about it?？？ I need information to find any health products or health tips to get me better. Any health periodicals or magazines or healthcare websites are beneficial to me. Million thanks to you!!!!!

Hello!
I have mild obstructive sleep apnea. But even if it’s a mild disorder, sleep apnea can be deadly.
Sleep apnea death may appear in case you don’t treat yourself for a long period of time. So I started to treat myself, to not let this illness become worse.
Maybe you want to know how can sleep apnea kill you…Here are the most common causes:
-congestive heart failure during sleep
-stroke
-fatal arrhythmia
-cardiovascular disease
-long pauses in sleep, or cessation of breathing
-workplace and automobile accidents
Babies are in danger to die from sleep apnea. There is sudden infant death syndrome, which is an unexplained and fatal syndrome that affects babies under 1 year of age.
Take care!

You can surgically fix it. They will just cut off some tissue from your throat.

It is highly unlikely that you will die before you realize you can’t breathe. The thing that is so harmful about OSA is that when your brain realizes you aren’t getting enough oxygen, it has to release chemicals to wake you up so you will breathe. These chemicals adrenailne, epinephrine, over time as they continue to bathe your heart and organs, can cause many problems, but most noteable would be high blood pressure and heart attack and hugely increased risks for these and stroke. You will need to start using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device likely every night indefinitely to get some relief from sleepiness symptoms and greatly reduce your risk of furhter health problems. The surgical option is avialable, but is usually not completely successful. CPAP machine is your best option. You should see a sleep specialist near you and get set up. it will change your life.
