Sleep Apnea is very common, as common as adult diabetes, and affects more than 18 million, 1 in every 15 Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health.  Yet still because of lake of awareness of the public, the vast majority remains undiagnosed and therefore untreated, despite the fact that this serious disorder can have significant consequences.  Untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches. Unfortunately many Americans are still undiagnosed the National Institutes of Health estimate 500,000 who are undiagnosed.  Moreover, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes.  Fortunately, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated.  Stop by our retail store located at 479 Piney Forest Road on January 28, 2009 from 9am-5pm to learn more about the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea or to get your current machine serviced.
