Sleep Apnea - Overview & Facts
Never in my life did I think I had Sleep Apnea. However, my dentist asked me to take a Sleep Apnea test to find out why I have dry mouth? Honestly, I did not see a relation between the two, but..
What is Sleep Apnea?
How does Sleep Apnea fit into E.S.P.M.?
How can it be detected and diagnosed?
Why do so many people have this sleep disorder?
How does it manifest itself?
Airways blocked
stop breathing
anatomy of breathing pattern
Symptoms of possible sleep apnea:
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Overweight
Stroke
Pre-diabetes and diabetes
Depression
Why do people with sleep apnea have longer and stronger Jet Lag when crossing over 2 time zones?
Jet lag is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder...
Jet lag can be worsened by:
- sleep loss due to travel
- spending a long time sitting, uncomfortable
- stress
- caffeine and alcohol use
- Air pressure or poor air quality
Do you see how it has to do with mental, physical and emotional health?
When in doubt, get tested. 
ex.: class, small appliance, returned it today, test with a bigger aparatus, wear overnight & return tomorrow. The Dept is recording. Dr. knew things I never shared re: my sleep pattern.
Any of the above symptoms, get tested.
