A disease that increases the risk of heart problems by 7 times
Posted by Michel Morvan on
This disease increases the risk of heart problems by 7 times . People who suffer from it are also 7 times more likely to have a traffic accident and see their risk of suffering from depression double.
This disease affects 5 million French people but 80% of them are not aware of their condition and therefore do not seek treatment .
This is sleep apnea syndrome . The symptoms are easily identifiable (snoring, morning fatigue, drowsiness, etc.) and treatments exist, even if they can sometimes seem a little complicated to implement . But it 's worth it ...
The two books by Dr. Claude Thony, Practical Medical Guide for People Suffering from Sleep Apnea , Volume 1 and Volume 2 , provide very concrete insight into the subject. They allow you to know very simply if you have the symptoms and if you need to consult for a more in-depth examination and then, if the diagnosis is made, to know the best ways to implement the treatment .
