SLEEP APNEA

Overview

Sleep Apnea affects many adults, with an estimated 60% of Americans over the age of 20 suffering from this sleep-related disorder. Sleep Apnea can cause interruptions in breathing during sleep due to obstructions in the airway. This leads to poor sleep quality and can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers.

Every year, numerous adults in the U.S. struggle with health problems linked to Sleep Apnea. Furthermore, sufferers often experience feelings of fatigue, diminished focus, and a lowered quality of life due to this debilitating condition.
