SLEEP APNEASleep Apnea is a dangerous and progressive sleep disorder which gets worse as you age. About 3 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea. Most cases are diagnosed by spouses or loved ones. Snoring is annoying and interrupts your bed partner’s sleep, which in turn affects your relationship. Imagine your sleeping, choking, gasping for air and you have no idea this occurred. Years go by, you are tired and fatigued. Undiagnosed severe obstructive sleep apnea could be life-threatening and cause a heart attack, stroke, or cardiac arrest during sleep. There is a continued risk of car accidents and/or workrelated accidents.Transform your sleep - transform your life
