Maybe you know you snore like a bear, but you don’t feel much urgency to look into it. Or maybe you have been told to wear a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine for sleep apnea, but it is just so cumbersome.
A new study shows that it is important to take obstructive sleep apnea seriously now –– it could impact your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease later.
Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with a greater risk for new microbleeds in the brain, according to the study.
I loved my Phillips CPAP for the better part of a year, until every use started coming with a distinct burning sensation in my nasal passages and throat.
Of course the VA still wondered why I wanted a new non-Phillips machine after the recall. Like hell the refurb/“fixed” version is good-enough, when the FDA banned them from making any such products going forward…
