When to Seek Medical Care for Sleep Apnea If symptoms and signs suggestive of sleep apnea are present, then proper medical evaluation is warranted. A primary care physician may be the best person for initial assessment and screening for sleep apnea. [emedicinehealth.com]

Thus, the present study challenges the previous paradigm that CSA is the most common sleep apnea in heart failure. [omicsonline.org]

Based on a diagnostic sleep study called a polysomnogram, this condition is present when there are five or more obstructive events occurring per hour of sleep. [verywellhealth.com]

At the present time there are no proven effective treatments for central sleep apnea. Often people with central sleep apnea have another medical condition, such as heart failure. [rtrespiratory.com]

• Asymptomatic

  The burden of HF may be underestimated, since population-based studies suggest that a substantial portion of those with systolic dysfunction are asymptomatic [ 1 ]. [omicsonline.org]

• Disability

  Three percent of the children who had surgery had some type of complication related to the surgery, but none was associated with death or disability. The results also varied by weight, and the surgery was less effective among black children. [reuters.com]

• Orthopnea

  Since CSA patients generally have relatively severe heart failure, symptoms such as orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea are present as well [ 14 ]. [omicsonline.org]

• Pharyngeal Edema

  Emerging data suggest that cardiac function influences upper airway patency in OSA by myriad intermediary mechanisms such as ventilatory drive changes, alterations in circulation time, peri-pharyngeal edema and neurohumoral control [ 8 ]. [omicsonline.org]

• Irregular Heart Rhythm

  In obstructive sleep apnea, the risk of stroke, heart attack, atrial fibrillation (an abnormal, irregular heart rhythm), and high blood pressure is increased. [msdmanuals.com]

• Arthritis

  Chronic heart failure, chronic kidney failure, and degenerative diseases like severe arthritis can lead to CA. Medications. Certain medications are known to depress or dampen the communication between the brain and the respiratory system. Altitude. [sleepresolutions.com]

• Headache

  Snoring and pauses in breathing Gasping or choking during sleep Excessive daytime sleepiness High blood pressure Morning headaches Poor judgment or concentration Dry mouth in the mornings Higher risk people include those with obesity, a thick neck, and [clinicalsleep.com]

  Morning Headaches stem from the loss of oxygen in your bloodstream that flows to your brain as a result of the irregular breathing at night. Restless sleep. [alaskasleep.com]

  Daytime symptoms may include mouth breathing, morning headache, and problems concentrating. [msdmanuals.com]

  If untreated, sleep apnea may cause conditions such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, memory problems, weight gain, impotence, headaches, diabetes, depression or mood swings, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and gastroesophageal reflux disease [fortherecordmag.com]

  Some of the main symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea include loud snoring, very frequent pauses in breathing which are caused by an obstruction, daytime fatigue/sleepiness, headaches in the morning, restless sleep, and even irritability or depression [sleeprestfully.com]

Learn about this condition, the features and causes, how it is diagnosed, and the most effective treatments (and if treatment is even necessary). [verywellhealth.com]

Treatment Options CPAP CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a treatment technique for your patients who have sleep apnea. [aastweb.org]

Treatment Optimal treatment options for mixed sleep apnea still need to be refined. [alaskasleep.com]

In fact, CSA is an independent marker for poor prognosis and death in HF. Thus, suppressing these apneas and hypopneas seemed to be a good idea. [mdedge.com]

With treatment, the prognosis is usually excellent. Life span is not affected, and most serious complications can be prevented. Losing weight, quitting smoking, and not using alcohol excessively can help. [msdmanuals.com]

• In patients with heart failure, the presence of Cheyne-Stokes respiration carries worse prognosis. • There is no evidence that treatment of central sleep apnea reduces mortality. • The use of adaptive servo-ventilation in treatment of central sleep [medlink.com]

If there's underlying heart disease, these repeated multiple episodes of low blood oxygen (hypoxia or hypoxemia) worsen prognosis and increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms. [mayoclinic.org]

Etiology of obstructive sleep apnea The etiology of OSAS is multifaceted. The factors that lead to OSA can change in adults and pediatric and adolescent patients. 5.1. [intechopen.com]

Our findings would suggest that for the typical heart failure patient in the community, OSA is much more likely to be the etiology of SDB than CSA, and that clinical suspicion and pretest probabilities should be adjusted accordingly. [academic.oup.com]
