Complications of Sleep Apnea
Depression
Lack of sleep can affect your mental health. If you’re always tired and cranky, you start feeling negative emotions until it becomes a chronic issue. Before you know it, you have mental health problems like depression.
Heart Attack
Obstructive sleeping may increase your blood pressure, causing stress on the heart as it struggles to pump blood. This issue could escalate into a dangerous heart attack.
Chronic Fatigue
Not getting enough sleep every night makes you feel tired during the day. Chronic fatigue can lead to poor performance in various aspects of your life, from your job to your relationships.
Diabetes
Sleep apnea prevents your body from getting enough oxygen during sleep. The body releases stress hormones when it’s oxygen-starved. With chronic stress, your body may become more resistant to insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels.
Bedroom Issues
Having a partner who is constantly annoyed with your snoring can result in intimacy issues. They can experience fatigue and restlessness, too.
Car Accidents
A dangerous side effect of poor sleep is drowsiness during critical activities like driving. Feeling sleepy while driving on a highway increases the risk of car accidents and fatalities.

Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea and Snoring
There are various ways to address sleep apnea and snoring. Here are some of the most effective and widely used by patients.
Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP)
Many who struggle with snoring use a CPAP machine because of its effectiveness in ensuring airflow during sleep. As a result, this apparatus is one of the most commonly used devices for sleep apnea management.
Often, this machine comes with a nasal mask. The mask is connected to a pump that administers air at a safe pressure that keeps the nasal passages and throat open.
Because CPAP therapy is non-invasive, it’s often prescribed by physicians as the first line of defense against mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Surgical Procedures (for Severe Sleep Apnea)
For more life-threatening cases, surgical intervention is often the next course of action.
There are various surgical procedures used to treat sleep apnea and snoring, and many of them address structures of the upper airway like the nasal passages, throat, and oral mucosa.
Surgery is aimed at reducing obstructions in these structures and is often the last resort because of risks.
Less Risky and Inconvenient Ways To Address Snoring and Sleep Apnea
CPAP machines are effective, but they’re often inconvenient since you’d have to be mindful of your sleeping position.
Likewise, while surgery can reduce airway obstructions, they can be risky.
Luckily, there are safer and more convenient alternatives to these methods and devices.
Lifestyle Changes
More often than not, sleep apnea and snoring problems can be addressed by changes in lifestyle. In other words, you can reduce these issues by simply losing weight, reducing your alcohol intake, and avoiding sedatives.
If you smoke, it would be a good idea to stop, especially if you’re serious about sleeping better.
Oral Appliances (Highly Recommended)
Oral appliances are like mouth guards that can be molded to fit the contours of your mouth and teeth.
They come in various forms, and they work by preventing your tongue from collapsing. By doing this, these appliances are helpful in ensuring that there’s minimal to no obstruction in your upper airways.
