Sleep Apnea Testing

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Sleep Apnea TestingAeroFlow Industrial Clinics is offering a free Sleep Apnea Survey to get your sleep score. Sleep Apnea is a very serious condition that needs to be diagnosed and treated. This free service is for people like you who are interested in having their answers reviewed by a physician at absolutely no charge. The physician requires some basic information from you in case your questionnaire results are positive and you need to be contacted regarding Sleep Apnea Testing. Your results and information are considered private and are protected information under Federal and State laws.

The Greek word “apnea” literally means “without breath.” There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed; of these, obstructive sleep apnea is the most common. Despite the difference in the root cause of each type, in all three, people with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer. With the proper Sleep Apnea Testing it can be diagnosed and treated.

Sleep Apnea Solutions

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Sleep apnea is very common, as common as adult diabetes, and affects more than 12 million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health. Risk factors include being male, overweight, and over the age of 40, but sleep apnea can strike anyone at any age, even children. The good news is that there are Sleep Apnea Solutions.

Sleep Apnea SolutionsThe solution that is right for you depends on the severity of your sleep apnea, the physical structure of your upper airway, and other aspects of your medical history. All treatment options are intended to prevent obstructions by widening the airway. Some of the latest Sleep Apnea Solutions are:

    Positional therapy - Avoiding sleeping on the back may reduce the number of episodes. Apneas tend to be worse when sleeping on the back (the supine position) as gravity makes it more likely for the tongue to fall back over the airway and/or for the airway muscles and other tissue (like the tonsils) to collapse and block the airway.
    Weight loss - Sleep apnea can be weight-related. For some overweight people, especially those with mild cases, losing weight can be an effective treatment.
    Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - CPAP is the most effective method for treating obstructive sleep apnea. It works by gently blowing pressurized room air through the airway at a pressure high enough to keep the throat open.

The type of treatment that you use is not as important as being properly diagnosed for OSA by professionals at Aeroflow Industrial Clinics.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Obstructive Sleep ApneaDid you know people with untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer? And did you know that untreated sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches? Moreover, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. It’s serious enough that if you exhibit any of the following symptoms you should let AeroFlow Healthcare help you determine if this serious condition is affecting your health:

    ~ You interrupt your own sleep by snoring
    ~ You interrupt the sleep of others with your snoring
    ~ Someone has observed your failure to breath while you sleep
    ~ Excessive daytime drowsiness
    ~ Falling asleep during your work day
    ~ Episodes where you abruptly wake up from your sleep

When it comes to Obstructive Sleep Apnea, which is a serious disorder, it is best to get it treated sooner rather than later. It’s a common condition that affects more than 12 million Americans but it is treatable.
