Alternative to CPAP

Today I’m going to discuss a prevalent yet often undiagnosed problem; sleep apnea. Common symptoms included feeling tired when you wake up, excessive daytime fatigue, can’t remember dreaming. Many times a loved one will report that you quit breathing when you sleep. You may be thinking what does this have to do with Fat Burning Tips and weight loss?

Great question; the most common cause of sleep apnea is obesity. This is not to say normal weight people can’t get sleep apnea; it’s just more prevalent in the overweight.

The medical consequences of sleep apnea are serious. Sleep apnea caused a closing of the airway usually in your throat. This in turn reduces oxygenation of your blood. All of your organs need oxygen but the heart is the most susceptible in sleep apnea patients. The effects are heart rhythm problems due to the lack of oxygen in the blood. If left untreated you could die from this condition. Some of you may remember Reggie White, he use to play football for the Green Bay Packers. His untimely cause of death was sleep apnea.

So let’s get back to why fat burning tips is writing about this malady. The most common treatment recommended if weight loss. The best way to accomplish this is to learn how to burn fat and lose the weight permanently. I have more on this at my BLOG. CPAP,(continuous positive airway pressure), is the most recommended treatment.

This is delivered via a mask or nasal pillows. Many people have a difficult time getting use to this method and compliance is an issue. Rarely surgery is recommended. This is because it usually requires breaking the jaw and is quite an extensive surgery. Surgery is not guaranteed to work so you can see why it is hardly recommended.

I have found an e-book with alternative treatments for those that can’t tolerate CPAP. Some of the methods including weight loss are valid. Others are untested and I really don’t know if they would work, as there are no medical studies on them.

Overall the book has many great suggestions if you don’t want CPAP or you can’t tolerate it. Check out the link at HERE Treat Sleep Apnea Without CPAP.
