Sleep Apnea

Often referred to as OSA, Obstructive Sleep Apnea is not a laughing matter, or enjoyable for anyone that suffers from lack of breathing during nighttime hours. The effects of recurrent OSA may be more serious than they initially appear. These recurrent episodes produce lowered oxygen levels and elevated intra-thoracic pressures. This may contribute to increases in Hypertension, Coronary Artery Disease and Stroke events.
