Learn more about the dangers of sleep apnea side effects

By Sam Kappel


There are many dangers involved with sleep apnea side effects and I am going to discuss them. First over 18 million Americans struggle with some form of sleep apnea. The side effects that come along with it can be very dangerous. Some of these side effects can even be life threatening if they are left untreated. A big factor for many people with sleep apnea is obesity. Over 50% of people who suffer from sleep apnea are obese. It is important to get this sleep disorder treated before the side effects become dangerous.

There are several side effects associated with sleep apnea, but I am only going to name some of the more dangerous and common ones. If left untreated sleep apnea can become a major health risk and even life threatening. Here are some of the major side effects:

1.) Heart Attack

2.) Heart Disease

3.) Irregular heart beating

4.) Heart attacks

5.) Obesity

6.) Depression

7.) Irregular beating of the heart

8.) Loud snoring

9.) Foggy head

10.) Weight gain

11.) Neurological diseases

12.) Heart failure

13.) Spinal injuries

14.) Diabetes

15.) Depression

16.) Not so happy sleep partner

17.) Spinal injuries

18.) Heart Failure

Sleep apnea is caused when the airway becomes partially or fully blocked while sleeping. This causes oxygen levels to decline in the body and can cause many of the above health issues. Lack of oxygen can be dangerous and even life threatening. This is just one cause of many of the side effects and a reason to get sleep apnea treated.

One of the biggest causes of some of these nasty side effects is stress and the hormones that come with it. The lack of sleep and irregular sleeping patterns puts stress on the body. The hormone most associated with stress is Cortisol and this is a major cause of weight gain. Stress can cause major problems with health, including heart issues.

If do not know if you have sleep apnea it is important to get checked out before these side effects cause you harm. If you already have sleep apnea, and want to avoid these dangerous side effects, it is important to treat your condition.

There are different types of options to treat sleep apnea. Find what option works best for you and what works for you.
