New York Cardiovascular Associates Launches New Health Campaign via Social Media to Educate Public About Sleep Apnea
New York City, NY (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- New York Cardiovascular Associates is launching a new campaign to provide education on sleep apnea. According to the New York City based sleep center, up to 90% of Americans with sleep apnea go undiagnosed. Sleep apnea can cause headaches, sore throat, and difficulty focusing throughout the day, making its diagnosis and treatment an important part of living a healthy life.
A center representative explains that sleep apnea occurs when a person’s breathing periodically starts and stops throughout the night. "The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when breathing is cut off by a person’s throat muscles relaxing. It is often accompanied by loud snoring, which leads to the sufferer’s bed partner being the most likely person to notice the problem."
The center cites weight management as an important tool in treating sleep apnea. They will be providing more information on the connection between weight and sleep apnea as well as other relevant topics throughout the month of July. Readers can visit the center’s Facebook and Twitter pages for more information on sleep apnea causes, symptoms, and treatments.
