Chronic Snoring is Not Only Annoying But so Much More
Christian Goodman
Are you experiencing any of the following - low energy during the day, waking up tired or becoming tired during the day, even after 8 hours of sleep, or do people complain about your snoring? You may be a sleep apnea sufferer without even knowing it.
In simple terms, sleep apnea refers to a condition in which you literally stop breathing for a few seconds, typically about 10 seconds at a time. This can occur throughout the night without you even being aware of it. In fact, most diagnoses of sleep apnea occur after someone else notices the apneic episodes. Clinical diagnosis is usually made with a polysomnogram, or overnight sleep test, where your breathing is closely monitored while you sleep.
There are three types of sleep apnea, categorized primarily by the cause of the disorder. The first is obstructive sleep apnea and is the most common. As the name implies, it's caused by something obstructing the flow of air. You may experience a mild form of sleep apnea if you have an upper respiratory infection. The tissues in the throat swell and block your airflow. But chronic obstructive sleep apnea usually requires medical intervention as it can lead to serious health complications, including a severe form of congestive heart failure.
Central apnea is the second type and is less common but more serious. It happens when the area of the brain that controls respirations is out of balance. When the level of carbon dioxide in the blood increases, the feedback mechanism that usually controls it does not react fast enough and keeps you from breathing normally. After the apneic episode, you may breathe very fast for a few seconds or minutes. This is how your body removes the excess carbon dioxide and oxygen is taken in. this can even happen during your waking hours.
Complex apnea is the third type, and is a combination of the two. When you have obstructive sleep apnea and it is allowed to continue for an extended time, as a result, central sleep apnea can occur.
People often associate snoring with obstructive sleep apnea, but it is not a good indication. When your snoring suddenly stops, along with your breathing, then that is a good indication that you may have sleep apnea. As soon as the apneic episode ends, you may experience deep gasps after which your snoring continues.
My simple exercise program was created to eliminate snoring and will cure the different types of sleep apnea. By strengthening the muscles and tissues around the mouth and throat through exercise, the episodes of obstructive sleep apnea can decrease.
My Stop Snoring Program can also cure central sleep apnea, because the exercises which move the muscles stimulates the areas of the brain that contains the respiratory control centers.
Just a note of caution though, my Stop Snoring program is not intended for sever forms of chronic sleep apnea. You need to seek professional help from your doctor so he/she can give you proper medical treatment.
Remember that snoring does not equate to sleep apnea. Although your snoring will definitely be cured by my Stop Snoring Program, and will finally make you and your spouse experience a good night's sleep.
Warm regards,
