Sleep Apnea (also called Sleep Apnoea) is a common sleep disorder that is characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep, which force the sufferer to wake up to resume normal breathing, and disrupt and disturb their normal sleep cycle. These episodes, called apneas, usually last from a few seconds up to as long as sixty seconds in severe cases, and may occur repeatedly throughout the night. This may come as a surprise to you, but sleep apnea is more
common than you think. Yes, while it might seem like you are the
only one who suffers from sleep apnea, we'd be willing to be
that at least a few of your close neighbors suffer from it to.
Well, the information age now allows you to listen to thousands
of different opinions and possible cures for whatever ails you.
Sleep apnea is no different. Follow these three tips and you
should be all set in your quest for more information.
1)Start with a basic search on multiple websites. Try the
regulars like Yahoo, Google, and MSN. Try searching for 'sleep
apnea symptoms' or 'sleep apnea treatment.' Getting multiple
sources of information can only make your information quest
easier. Some search engines are better for some types of
information (Google seems to be especially handy for scientific
searches) while others are not. Get a lot of different
information sources.
2)Another great source of information for everything is
wikipedia.org. While we definitely don't recommend trying to
treat your sleep apnea yourself based upon the information you
find (always see a physician, we aren't physicians and can't
give a medical opinion), wikipedia.org is a good place to start
looking for any information as it is "user edited". "User
edited" means that anyone can conceivably change the information
on wikipedia.org. It's almost like a democracy of information
presentation. It's definitely worth a look in your sleep apnea
research.
3) Don't forget to look for information specifically on
understanding sleep apnea. If you can't understand what sleep
apnea is, you are going to have a tough time even if you follow
tips #1 and #2 to the letter. Get informed and try to understand
what sleep apnea is. There are a ton of great resources out
there if you look hard enough.

If left untreated, Sleep Apnea can be life threatening. Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) can cause people to fall asleep at inappropriate times, such as while driving, endangering their lives and the lives of their passengers and those around them.
Sleep apnea also appears to put individuals at risk for stroke and Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs), also known as "mini-strokes", and is associated with coronary heart disease, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, gout and high blood pressure.
So, if you or a loved one are suffering from sleep apnea, be sure to see your doctor so that the sleep apnea symptoms can be treated, removed, or reduced before they become life threatening.
