New Study a 'Wake Up Call' For the Urgent Need for Sleep Apnea Treatment

"We have patients who come to us who have been urged by their spouse, significant other, or even children who hear them actually stop breathing while they are sleeping" says Greenburg.

Sleep apnea is at epidemic proportions in the United States with over 18 million people being affected. Symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air, waking up tired and fatigued, as well as falling asleep during the middle of the day.

Many of these symptoms result in patients who eventually find their way to their health care provider, get a sleep study and are prescribed a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.
