When the airway is blocked duh to sleep apnea, you stop breathing. When breathing stops regularly you are not getting enough oxygen into your body. When oxygen levels drop many bad side effects come with it. This is just one reason to treat sleep apnea as soon as possible.

One of the biggest causes of some of these nasty side effects is stress and the hormones that come with it. The lack of sleep and irregular sleeping patterns puts stress on the body. The hormone most associated with stress is Cortisol and this is a major cause of weight gain. Stress can cause major problems with health, including heart issues.

If you suffer from some of these side effects, but have not been diagnosed, it is important to get checked out immediately. If you know you have sleep apnea it is important to find a treatment as soon as possible to help avoid side effects.

There are different types of options to treat sleep apnea. Find what option works best for you and what works for you.
