Fuller Sleep & TMJ Solutions Cautions Those at Risk of Sleep Apnea
Greensboro, NJ – In a recent post, Fuller Sleep & TMJ Solutions has cautioned those at risk of sleep apnea in Greensboro.
Patients with obesity are often the most at risk for experiencing sleep apnea. This can be attributed to excess tissue placing pressure on the airway. Unfortunately, more than half of those diagnosed with sleep apnea have also been diagnosed with obesity or are overweight. This is a crucial issue to address and often requires lifestyle changes and treatment with oral appliance therapy or CPAP.
An individual’s risk for developing sleep apnea in Greensboro continues to increase with weight gain and age. However, that is not all; people are also at a higher risk if they have diabetes or are smokers. Additionally, people with a constricted shape or small nose, mouth or throat, are also at a higher risk of being diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Allergies and other medical conditions can also cause issues along the airway that restrict the flow of oxygen. On the other hand, though, sleep apnea is often more common in men than women and African Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders than Caucasians. Sleep apnea can even occur during pregnancy and following menopause, so pay close attention to the symptoms that may indicate so.
