Although
Sleep Apnea is not strictly related
to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic
Encephalopathy, it is a cause of chronic
fatigue.
What’s
more, Fibromyalgia symptoms
seem to dramatically improve when
you treat your sleep apnea symptom
s!
Many
Fibromyalgia patients have even reported
that their pain has disappeared
completely after their sleep
apnea symptom s
were cured! 
So
what exactly is Sleep Apnea? And what
are the sleep apnea symptom
s?
Well,
Sleep Apnea is basically oxygen
deprivation due to ‘disordered
breathing’.
You
see, when you suffer from Sleep Apnea,
your airway effectively ‘collapses’
while you sleep. And because no air
is flowing into your lungs you eventually
wake up briefly to…
…well….breathe!
(sleep apnea
symptom s)
This
gasping breath can sound like a loud
snort (sleep
apnea symptom s) and can happen
hundreds of times a night
– but apart from waking up the
next morning feeling exhausted, you’re
unlikely to remember any of it!
Thankfully
there are some effective treatments
out there that can help you to deal
with your sleep apnea symptom
s…
Continuous-Positive-Airway-Pressure
(CPAP) for example, alleviates your
sleep apnea symptom
s prevents your airway from
collapsing by giving you a stream
of air through your nose.
If
you’re obese, you might want
to consider losing weight because
obesity is a common cause
of sleep apnea
.
Other
common causes of sleep apnea include
large tonsils or adenoids.
These can create obstructions to the
airway in your throat that can cause
it to collapse while your asleep (sleep
apnea symptom s).
Surgery
has helped some people with sleep
apnea , but
it’s wise to consult with your
doctor about other possible treatments
before trying this option.
