\nComplications
\nof Untreated Sleep Apnea<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
\nWhen a patient suffers from obstructive sleep apnea,<\/b> the tongue and soft tissues of the oral
\ncavity partially or fully block the airway during sleep. The level of oxygen in
\nthe blood gradually decreases until the brain sends an urgent signal to the
\nbody to wake up and take a full breath. Most patients don\u2019t awaken fully,
\nthough they do experience the sensation of lost sleep the next day. Feeling
\nexhausted at work and on the road can be exceedingly dangerous, particularly
\nfor individuals who drive long distances or work with heavy machinery. Other
\ncomplications associated with untreated sleep
\napnea <\/b>include the following:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nCirculatory problems, including high blood pressure<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nCardiovascular disease<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nEye conditions, including glaucoma and conjunctivitis <\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nIncreased risk of complications following surgery<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nCoronary artery disease<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nStroke<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nRespiratory failure<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nIrregular heartbeat<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nPulmonary hypertension<\/div>\n
\n\u00b7        
\nComplications during pregnancy<\/div>\n
