Can Snoring Cause Impotence ?

Snoring Can Cause Impotence.

Did You Know...

... there is a simple, non-surgical solution to sleep apnea and the many serious risks and health problems that go along with it?

"Apnea" is a Greek word that means "without breath." Those with sleep apnea literally stop breathing during their sleep, up to 100 times each night, and for as long as 1 minute each time. The most common form of the condition—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—is typically caused by a collapse of the soft tissues at the back of the throat.







The most recent data from the National Institutes of Health states that more than 12 million Americans suffer from dangerous sleep apnea. The top 3 risk factors for having sleep apnea are being male, overweight, and over 40 years old. However, even children can have this disorder.

The primary symptoms are:

The primary symptoms of sleep apnea are snoring and high blood pressure. But unfortunately, the majority of those who suffer from the ailment are undiagnosed and untreated.

This neglect can result in a multitude of serious and even life-threatening consequences, such as:
                                              
Impotence
                                               
Behavioral changes
                                               
Loss of energy
                                               
Depression and mood swings
                                                
Heart attacks
                                                
Headaches
                                         
Obesity
                                               
Stroke                                              
                                               
Do You Secretly Suffer from Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is exceedingly difficult to diagnose, but there are some important patterns that signal its presence. For instance, those with the affliction are generally sleep deprived. That's not surprising since their irregular breathing may awaken them 10 to 100 times each night. They may even wake up choking or gasping for air.

Often, however, they are completely unaware of this unconscious biological response to a state of oxygen deprivation.

Whatever sleep time apnea sufferers do manage to get will typically be fragmented and of poor quality. Therefore, job impairment and motor vehicle accidents are not uncommon side effects of this disorder.

Other medical consequences can directly result from sleep apnea even though they seem totally unrelated, including fibromyalgia ...   
chronic fatigue syndrome ...
and even multiple sclerosis.

The reason these serious conditions can stem from sleep apnea is due to the severe toll taken on the body when it's robbed of essential needs like sleep and oxygen. No wonder its ability to maintain a healthy state becomes so compromised!
