Sudden Death & Snoring Connection
A study found that those diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a greater risk of sudden death. Snoring is a main symptom of OSA. This is a study of over 42,000 individuals across the world, and it showed about double the risk of sudden death and cardiovascular death. Untreated OSA patients more commonly develop high blood pressure and heart disease as well as other health conditions. See https://sleepdt.com/sudden-death-and-osa-connection-highlighted/, and https://bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/8/1/e000656.

Do You Hate Your ‘CPAP’ ??
Mayo Clinic lists 10 problems CPAP users have. The article is found at https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleep-apnea/in-depth/cpap/art-20044164. But none of the problems deal with the questions, “Where do I plug in the machine when camping, backpacking, hunting, surviving a power outage, etc.” or “How do I remove the biofilm (https://nwsleepdoc.com/hate-cpap/) from the inside of the hose?” or “How do I get rid of the strap marks?” A small custom-made oral device (https://nwsleepdoc.com/services/sleep-medicine/) may be your answer. Call today to schedule a consultation. 208-667-4551.
