One of our patients stopped in with a copy of this article for me, while I also received numerous emails from patients, friends and family.

Here’s the first paragraph:
By KRIS MAHER for the Wall Street Journal

For the 18 million people with obstructive sleep apnea, the remedy is far from perfect: bulky and expensive masks that some compare to sleeping in scuba gear.

As the number of people with sleep apnea is expected to rise, doctors and medical device makers are trying new treatments. New masks, while still bulky, aim to be more comfortable. Dentists have begun prescribing an appliance that draws the lower jaw forward to create more space in the airway. ( for the rest of this very informative article, please follow this link: The New Face of Sleep )

Many deaths among people in their 40’s and older are attributed to heart disease, when in fact, the actual cause is related to an under acknowledged epidemic of snoring and sleep apnea.

 Sleep apnea is a potentially deadly phantom that causes the frequent stoppage of breathing during sleep.  And Snoring?  Snoring is often the precursor or the loud companion to sleep apnea.

 Although effective medical treatment for sleep apnea is available, both through CPAP machines and Oral Appliance Therapy, this urgent information has not become routine medical practice.  Furthermore, the public does not recognize the dangers of sleep apnea and snoring.

 Even when apnea is suspected, patients find qualified care difficult to obtain.  As a result, 95 % of the millions of people that suffer from sleep apnea remain untreated! 
 
The National Center for Sleep Disorders Research scientist are currently examining the relationship between heart disease and sleep apnea. Dr. James Kiley, Director, points to research data that justify a major series of studies to determine this relationship.  At this time, research suggests that apnea may be a cause of heart disease.

·       Congestive Heart Failure Affects 10% of the American Population, 2.5 million Americans
·       5% of Women and 10% of Men are estimated to suffer from Sleep Apnea
·        With obstructive sleep apnea, often marked by snoring, the right side of the heart must support the extra effort of the lungs to overcome the breath obstruction, often leading to heart damage.
·       Individuals that are heavy snorers and pause in their breathing can be at risk for heart disease.
·       Patients with obstructive apnea, when treated with CPAP, show a marked improvement of increased energy, lower fatigue, lower blood pressure, and positive outlook.
·        High blood pressure, surges of adrenaline and irregular heartbeats may be caused by central apnea.

Do you think you can be suffering from Sleep Apnea?  Don’t delay your treatment any longer.  Call Dr. Sosenko today for a Sleep Apnea and Snoring Consultation – 1-800 SNORING (In NorthernIllinois, including Naperville, Lisle, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Plainfield, Downers Grove, Oswego and many Western Suburbs of Chicago) or 630- 369-5508.
