The numbers
are staggering with over
70 million Americans experiencing
problems sleeping and over half of these having an undiagnosed
sleep disorder that
should be tested. From this group, approximately 85% (30 million)
suffer some form of
Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB), a general term for a variety
of breathing difficulties
that occur during sleep.
Common
symptoms include snoring
and gasping for breath during
sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches and
irritable behavioral just to
name a few. A significant number of SDB patients also have
increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive
heart failure, stroke and coronary artery disease.
