Sleep apnea may lead to more than simply the inability to get a good night<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s sleep. <\/span>Read on to learn what else Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) can do to your body if not <\/span>properly treated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>


HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
<\/span><\/h3>

Along with preventing a restful slumber, Obstructive Sleep Apnea is also directly related <\/span>to large drops in blood oxygen levels, which can cause high blood pressure. This can <\/span>put you at strong risk for heart attack, stroke, and other serious health conditions.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/h3>

DIGESTIVE ISSUES<\/span><\/h3>

There is a strong correlation between sleep apnea and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease <\/span>(NAFLD), which can dramatically worsen with untreated OSA. A large percentage of in<\/span><\/span>dividuals with sleep apnea have also been found to suffer from GERD (gastroe<\/span><\/span>sophageal reflux disease).*<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

DIABETES<\/span><\/h3>

Sleep apnea can result in insulin resistance, which makes you more susceptible to high <\/span>blood glucose levels. Eventually, this could result in type two diabetes.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

BREATHING PROBLEMS<\/span><\/h3>

Sleep apnea is a condition that causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during <\/span>sleep, and therefore repeatedly deprives your body of oxygen.<\/span> As a result, OSA can <\/span><\/span>make asthma sufferers\u2019 symptoms worse, and can also intensify chronic obstructive pul<\/span><\/span>monary disease (COPD).<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

DECREASED LIBIDO<\/span><\/h3>

While we sleep, our bodies produce hormones that affect sexual desire. When sleep is <\/span>disrupted multiple times throughout the night, this process is negatively affected. It is <\/span>therefore common for men with Obstructive Sleep Apnea to suffer from erectile dysfunc<\/span><\/span><\/span>tion, and for women with the condition to also experience decreased sexual desire.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?<\/span><\/h3>
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a serious medical condition that should be treated not just to <\/span>achieve better sleep and less snoring, but also to prevent the numerous health risks that <\/span>can also stem from it.
