Sleep Disordered Breathing
Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is an umbrella term for a range of sleep-related breathing problems that can disrupt normal breathing during sleep, such as snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea. These conditions can cause daytime sleepiness and other symptoms that can interfere with everyday life. Long-term untreated SDB can have serious health implications, including an increased risk of stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Treatment for SDB usually involves lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and in more severe cases, the use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. Treatment of SDB can help improve quality of life and reduce the risk of developing long-term medical problems.
