REDUCE ALCOHOL INTAKE<br />
Try not to drink alcohol as much as<br />
it causes your muscles to relax. This might<br />
be something you want to do, but it can<br />
also exacerbate your sleep apnea. Like<br />
the rest of your muscles, those around<br />
your throat and airway relax under the<br />
influence of alcohol, making it harder<br />
for you to maintain a proper air passage.<br />
If you can’t give up drinking completely,<br />
at least make an effort to moderate your<br />
intake. Also, avoid having alcohol in<br />
the hours leading up to your bedtime.<br />
Do not drink alcohol, especially before going<br />
to sleep. A wide range of sleep disorders<br />
are compounded negatively by the use or<br />
consumption of alcohol, and sleep apnea<br />
is among them. It depresses your central<br />
nervous system, which can worsen your<br />
apnea and can make it harder for you to<br />
come to if you stop breathing. This can be a<br />
fatal combination of conditions.<br />

SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN<br />
Sleep apnea is very serious. If you<br />
feel some of the symptoms, then you need<br />
to consult a physician as quickly as you can.<br />
If the doctor determines you are suffering<br />
from sleep apnea, you should consult with<br />
someone who specializes in this disorder<br />
in order to effectively treat the condition.<br />
You aren’t always going to be aware of<br />
your sleep apnea. If you happen to feel<br />
sleepy, tired and exhausted all the time,<br />
then it’s best that you consult with a<br />
doctor. These symptoms may be indicative<br />
of sleep apnea, despite the fact that you<br />
don’t struggle to breathe at night.<br />
