Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which people stop breathing during sleep, often multiple times a night. Sleep apnea is a serious problem that can cause serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
People with sleep apnea often experience problems with their sleep, including fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. In addition, people with sleep apnea are at a higher risk for developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
There is no one cure for sleep apnea, but there are treatments available that can help improve the quality of your sleep and reduce the risk of health problems. Inspire therapy is the first implantable device for treating obstructive sleep apnea. In comparison to CPAP, Inspire therapy works from inside the body and with a patient’s natural breathing process.
