Imprtance of Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Dr. Mark Wisner

You swear you get 8 hours of sleep a night, but you are still tired all the time. Are you napping every afternoon? Or worse falling asleep at work or while you drive home? Do you snore all night? Maybe you aren’t really sleeping all 8 hours. It could be sleep apnea, a disorder of breathing during sleep. Treatment could help you be more rested and give you more energy. It could lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease. Treating sleep apnea could save your life. courtesy photo New gift shop, The Buckin' Chute Trading Post.
