Sleep Apnea
Treatment Options
Like most scenarios, you may want to attempt natural apnea treatments, due to lack of side affects. Before deciding on a possible treatment, the root cause of the problem would need to be identified. One of the main reasons of sleep apnea disorder lies with the obstruction of the airway. Again, that can be for a number of reasons, but to open the airway and ensure it stays open throughout the night, would give the highest chance of success when combating the disorder. Any type of throat tissue, growths or even obesity, could narrow the airway enough to cause complications. As an example, people who are overweight may find it harder to breath, when they are fully conscious. To sleep and have those muscles relax could close the airway further or completely. Because of this a common natural apnea treatment would be weight loss. Many people can improve their health simply by losing weight, but in this case it could save their life.
Unfortunately, the cause of the problem isn't always that clear. If someone's genetic make up simply has them left with a narrow, or unusual airway, the treatment could be a type of dental device. This device is a valid option that manipulates the jaw forward allowing for the free passage of air to the lungs. There are some other, more radical treatments that could include surgery, but before that you should have your doctor inform you of all the options.
Surgery could open or clear the airway for the passage of oxygen, dependant on the root cause of the obstruction. The key to success here is delivering oxygen to the body and more importantly the brain. Without oxygen to the brain you can develop many complications and eventually death. The bottom line is, no matter the case it is critical that you seek medical help and understand that you don't have to fight this alone and there are answers out there to make you sleep easy.
