How to Raise Blood Sugar While Sleeping
Snoring or Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are very commonly associated with insulin resistance of adult onset diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease from consuming too much high fructose corn sugar. OSA increases our “fight or flight” reaction. This causes a sugar release into the blood stream or puts it into a constant “on” position to wear out our pancreas’s regulation of sugar which results in body wide inflammation (pain). This cascade of destructive chemical reactions in the body are initiated with repeated sleep arousals to an unconscious light sleep or complete awakening repeatedly throughout the night.
Anyone with diabetes, metabolic disease, or liver disease should be tested for OSA with a sleep study. Treatment could be a CPAP, a dental Mandibular Advancement Device, or an implanted breathing muscle stimulator called Inspire.

How Long Does A Heart Stent Last?

On average, the typical stent used in heart surgery lasts for seven years. However, if that patient has undiagnosed and/or untreated sleep apnea, then the life of the stent is 50% less. Anyone with a heart stent should get a sleep test.

Sleep Apnea creates and maintains High Blood Pressure.

While sleeping, if your breathing is choked off, that would create anxiety and raise blood pressure. If that happened 15 to 45 times an hour, you’d have moderate to severe apnea.

Your physician would give you HPB meds, or even two if one weren’t working. HBP over time causes a fast heart rate (Afib), leading over time to tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, the deadly rhythms needing a defibrillator. If only that HBP person had a sleep test and been treated with a CPAP or dental apnea device…the heart damage over time could have been stopped.

Can Bad Sleep Cause TMJ Problems?
We need good sleep for good physical and psychological health. Many studies have linked sleep, too short or too long, with diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Decreased sleep is connected to an increase in perception of pain. The chance of developing TMJ symptoms doubles with poor sleep quality. Sleep time less than 5 hours or greater than 9 hours increase your chance of developing TMJ problems.

Be sure your dental provider is well versed in how the treat TMJ symptoms too. On the other hand, undiagnosed sleep apnea may promote the development of TMJ issues in which case are noticed first. No direct cause and effect of one directly causes the other, but they often happen together.
