Are you experiencing any of the following – low energy during the day, waking up tired or becoming tired during the day, even after 8 hours of sleep, or do people complain about your snoring? You may be a sleep apnea sufferer without even knowing it.
In simple terms, sleep apnea refers to a condition in which you literally stop breathing for a few seconds, typically about 10 seconds at a time. This can occur throughout the night without you even being aware of it. In fact, most diagnoses of sleep apnea occur after someone else notices the apneic episodes. Clinical diagnosis is usually made with a polysomnogram, or overnight sleep test, where your breathing is closely monitored while you sleep.

There are three types of sleep apnea, classified by the cause of the disorder. Obstructive sleep apnea is the first one and is the most common. It happens when something obstructs the air flow, such as tissues in the throat swelling. This may happen when you are suffering from upper respiratory infection, and may lead to a mild form of sleep apnea. When the obstructive sleep apnea becomes continuous, it usually requires medical attention already since it may lead to more serious health complications, such as severe form of congestive heart failure.
When the area of the brain that controls respirations is out of balance, it is called central apnea. This is less common but more serious. When the body’s level of carbon dioxide in the blood rises, it causes the feedback mechanism to slow down and keep you from breathing normally. After such an episode, you may experience rapid breathing for several seconds or minutes. This is the body’s defense mechanism to remove the excess carbon dioxide and increase oxygen intake. This can continue even when you are awake.
A combination of the first and second type is called complex apnea. If you have a severe case of obstructive apnea, and it continues for an extended period of time, central sleep apnea can develop.
One of the most common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring, however, just because you snore doesn’t necessarily mean you have it. It’s when your snoring suddenly stops, along with your breathing, that’s usually a good indication you may have sleep apnea. The apneic episode is typically followed by a deep gasp after which your snoring continues.
My simple exercise program was created to eliminate snoring and will cure the different types of sleep apnea. By strengthening the muscles and tissues around the mouth and throat through exercise, the episodes of obstructive sleep apnea can decrease.
Central sleep apnea can also be cured using my stop snoring program, though to a lesser extent. Exercising and moving the muscles makes the areas of the brain that contains the respiratory control centers become stimulated.
Just remember that the stop snoring program is not aimed at curing severe forms of chronic sleep apnea. For severe forms, you definitely need a clinical diagnosis and proper medical treatment from your physician.
Again, not all people who snore are suffering from sleep apnea. My stop snoring program will certainly help you stop snoring and give you and your spouse a peaceful night’s sleep.
