Often, apnea goes undiagnosed because people are unaware they are experiencing symptoms, while others don\u2019t feel the condition is severe enough to seek treatment. What many people don\u2019t understand is that sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that requires proper treatment. When left untreated, serious and potentially life threatening complications can occur. At iSleep Solutions, we provide treatment for sleep apnea in Summerlin. With the right Summerlin sleep apnea treatment, you\u2019ll sleep soundly while preventing additional complications.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Treating Sleep Apnea in Summerlin<\/h2>\n<p>Sleep apnea causes brief interruptions in breathing while sleeping due to an obstruction in the airway or a complication with the brain sending signals to areas responsible for breathing. No matter the cause, these interruptions cause you to stop breathing multiple times per night with each interruption lasting as long as 30 seconds. As a result, this causes lack of proper oxygen in the body, wreaking havoc on your overall health and quality of life. When left untreated, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/sleep-apnea\/basics\/complications\/con-20020286\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">serious complications<\/a> can develop, which may include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day Time Fatigue\u2014<\/strong>Due to poor sleep quality from the interruptions, it\u2019s common to experience day time fatigue. Overtime, this can turn into sleep deprivation, causing a decrease in productivity, loss of concentration, and even mood changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardiovascular Problems\u2014<\/strong>Those with untreated apnea are likely to develop high blood pressure or heart problems due to the additional strain placed on the cardiovascular system. As a result, your risk for heart attack, abnormal heartbeats, and heart disease can develop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type 2 Diabetes\u2014<\/strong>Overtime, apnea can lead to insulin resistance, eventually causing Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metabolic Syndrome\u2014<\/strong>With the increased risk for heart disease, those with the condition are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome. This includes an increased risk for high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and even obesity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liver Complications\u2014<\/strong>It\u2019s not uncommon for those with apnea to have abnormal liver function. Due to scarring of the liver, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can develop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Complications\u2014<\/strong>Those with apnea have an increased risk for experiencing complications from medications and surgery. Breathing problems during surgery that requires sedation or those that require laying on the back are common complications, as well as poor interactions with certain medications.<\/p>\n<h2>Summerlin Sleep Apnea Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Due to the potential health complications that develop from untreated apnea, we are here for you to provide the treatment you need. We understand the various causes of apnea and how they relate to the potential onset of additional complications, such as hypertension. We treat sleep apnea with an oral device or appliance to decrease the occurrence of breathing interruptions. As a result, hypertension and other potential complications decrease.<\/p>\n<p>iSleep Solutions can combine oral appliance therapy with a CPAP machine to keep their airways open. This will allow you to maintain proper oxygen flow to sleep better, while reducing your risk for complications.
