Some illnesses bring on health problems right away
whereas others might go undetected for quite a while. I used to wonder where
you would put sleep apnea, does it have an immediate impact on you or does it
take a while. If you consider that there
are a lot of folks that have sleep apnea and don’t even know it you would think
that severe health risks would arise after some time. In a recent article in
Science Daily they go over a study that showed how quickly sleep apnea can
affect the body.
The study looked at the effect that sleep apnea had
on a group of middle aged men who had obstructive sleep apnea and their
conclusion was that even a mild form of sleep apnea can cause problems in the
cerebral vessels which may lead to a stroke.
What is really frightening is that the cerebral vessels may be altered
after 30 days!
That has to be awfully scary for anyone who has had
sleep apnea it should also be “wakeup call” for those who think that they might
have sleep apnea but they haven’t been tested.
If the present is any indication the number of people with sleep apnea
will continue to rise causing an incredible health risk in the future.
