NutriSleepRX Review
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, NutriSleepRX Review sleep apnea affects over ten million Americans. It occurs when someone regularly has their breathing disrupted while sleeping either because of a physical obstruction (obstructive apnea) or because the brain doesn't send a signal to breathe (central), or a combination of the two.Apnea can occur in all age groups, and can lead to other health problems including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and impaired memory. While some people will use prescribed CPAP machines, many people do not want to wear a mask while they sleep or they have apnea that can be addressed through surgery.
When someone thinks they may have sleep apnea, usually a sleep study is arranged. A sleep study is where the patient comes to the sleep lab at night and they sleep is monitored by machines that identify apnea episodes. Obstructive apnea can be treated through surgery, while there is currently no surgery that is effective in preventing central apnea.
Apnea in children often occurs when they have swollen tonsils, a tonsillectomy to remove the swollen tonsils can end the apnea as well as preventing further tonsil problems. Other medical conditions can cause physical blockages that are easily treated through surgery including swollen adenoids which can be removed through an adenoidectomy.
When sleep apnea is related to obesity, bariatric surgery is recommended, as it is a type of surgery that helps patients lose weight (which reduces apnea). The most common surgery for sleep apnea is called uvulopalatopharyoplasty (UPPP), UPPP widens the airway by removing excess throat tissue. Although there is no clear research supporting or disproving the effectiveness of UPPP, UPPP has been shown to stop snoring and is the most popular form of surgical treatment for sleep apnea today.
