If your sinusitis makes you sneeze, sniffle, and suffer through every season, it might be time to consider preventative measures. You can’t prevent every case, but you can lower your risk.
Over 40 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder, and 20 million suffer from OSA. Despite the high prevalence, 93% of women and 82% of men with moderate to severe OSA remain undiagnosed. In a community-based study, men were found to be 2 times more likely than women to have OSA. However, men are 8 times more likely to be treated for OSA than women. This suggests that the symptoms of OSA in women are often attributed to other conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, and fibromyalgia.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Untreated Sleep Apnea can severely affect the quality of life, health, and mortality. Clinical research shows that it is linked strongly to a range of serious, life-threatening diseases such as stroke, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and coronary heart disease.
Neck Circumference
A neck circumference of 16.5 or more inches is typically associated with an increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea.
