Overview

  • Studies have linked untreated sleep apnea with an increased risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, heart disease, and even “all cause mortality” (i.e. general death), notes Malhotra. It’s also associated with type 2 diabetes, is considered a major risk factor for high blood pressure, and increased risk of mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, or suicidal ideation.Lebensechte Sexpuppen

    There are two types of sleep apnea. The most common, by far, is obstructive sleep apnea, wherein a physical blockage prevents breathing. Often, this occurs because the muscle and tissue at the back of the throat relax and fall during sleep, constricting or entirely blocking up the airway. In contrast, central sleep apnea is much more rare, occurring in less than one percent of adults, and is caused by a loss of coordination between the brain and the respiratory system.Asian Sex Dolls

    Somewhere between 10 and 30 percent of adults are thought to have obstructive sleep apnea, depending on factors like where you live, ethnicity, and sex. It is much more common among men and risk increases with age and weight. People with obesity have a significantly higher rate of sleep apnea. About 60 to 70 percent of obstructive sleep apnea patients have obesity, says, Malhotra, a sizable proportion–but not everyone. Alcohol is also a major factor. If you have a nightcap before bed, you may be setting yourself up for disrupted nighttime breathing. Sedatives like alcohol (or even certain prescribed medications) can block the nerve that controls the tongue, notes Gurubhagavatula, leading to more blockage.Günstige Sexpuppen
    The basic symptoms of sleep apnea can sound commonplace and as if they apply, at times, to nearly everyone: Things like snoring, tiredness, and moodiness. Yet there are ways to parse out your risk and to know if and when to be concerned.

    Not all snoring is sleep apnea, but sleep apnea is often associated with loud, disruptive, and consistent snoring, says Gurubhagavatula. Many people snore from time to time with congestion, seasonal allergies, or alcohol consumption–but habitual snoring is worth investigating, she says.

    Similarly, constant sleepiness that moves beyond occasional fatigue should be a red flag. Regularly nodding off during daytime activities or having difficulty staying awake warrants a doctor’s visit. Apnea-associated exhaustion can prove particularly dangerous If you find yourself tired and losing focus while driving, says Pack. Increased risk of car accidents is one of many downstream consequences of sleep apnea.Heiße Sexpuppen

    “85 percent of sleep apnea is missed and people don’t come forward because they assume that, ‘oh everybody snores. I’m just a little tired’, and they tend to ignore it,” she says. But “it’s really important not to ignore it.

    Other common symptoms include hypertension, frequent nighttime urination (oxygen stress changes how your body processes water and sodium), irritability, cognitive impairment, routinely waking up with a start, loss of libido, and headaches.TPE Sexpuppen More rarely, people with sleep apnea might present with nightmares, sleep talking or yelling, or teeth clenching, Gurubhagavatula adds. Bed partners are uniquely positioned to pick up on the signs of sleep apnea, and often even note the apneas themselves. “A partner might say, ‘I hear your breathing pattern and it’s scary,’ or ‘I hear you stop breathing in your sleep,’” she says.
