Natural Ways to Relieve and Avoid Sleep Apnea
“No breath” is the literal definition of the word “apnea”. Thus, the disorder called sleep apnea is characterized by the stopping or pausing of breath while the person is sleeping. Sleep apnea is not something you can deal with lightly. In fact, in cases when the pauses between breathing becomes longer, fatal consequences could be expected. When the pauses of about 10 to 40 seconds happen about 20 to 30 times within an hour, then it is time to be really worried. If sleep apnea is left untreated, worse situations may follow such as heart failure, stroke or hypertension.
Types of Sleep Apnea
When people speak of sleep apnea, what they really mean is the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). There are two other kinds however, the central sleep apnea and the combination of the obstructive and central types. OSA is the most common type and happens when air is blocked and is not able to enter the lungs. This may be the result of too much weight and of problems in the tonsils and the jaw anatomy. Snoring is one strong symptom of OSA.
The central sleep apnea, on the other hand, happens when the brain fails to send the proper signals needed by the muscles that controls breathing.
The third and more complex type is the combination of the first two apneas.
Natural Treatments for Sleep Apnea
If regular breathing is restored when sleeping and when daytime sleepiness and snoring have been prevented from happening, then it can be said that OSA is gone. Otherwise, there is an immediate need to treat this disorder. The problem is, there is really no known medicine that can cure sleep apnea. Common treatments would be the wearing of oral devices and mouthpieces or surgeries. Many prefer not to make use of them.
The good news is, there are natural treatments for sleep apnea and some of them can also prevent heart problems. It basically boils down to having a healthy lifestyle. The natural treatments for sleep apnea that should be on top of your list would be to quit smoking if you smoke and to lose weight if you are overweight. Likewise, avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills intake can also relieve you of OSA. The constant changes in your sleeping position could also help individuals get relief or avoid sleep apnea.
Other natural treatments for sleep apnea would be by tying a ball of socks across your waist when you sleep to force you to change your position every now and then, by using a humidifier, by raising your pillow or the head of the bed, by sleeping on your side, by making sure that you have a stabilized blood sugar, by keeping a regular time for sleeping, by not eating or drinking booze before sleeping, by making sure that you have a low blood pressure and by keeping your sinuses clear.
If you will only have enough discipline in your body to practice a healthy lifestyle, then you will not suffer the adverse results sleep apnea can give.
The Stigma Among Hepatitis C Victims
Hepatitis C is a what many refer to as the "silent epidemic". This is due to the fact that many who has it will not feel any symptoms unless they already have a severely damaged liver. This happens in about 15 to 20 years from the time the hepatitis C virus is acquired. The hepatitis C virus, also called HCV, may be acquired only via a blood to blood transfer. Today, about 200 million individuals are infected of the virus all over the world. The sad truth is that of these 200 million, 85% are set to become chronic hepatitis C and among these, about 20% will turn into liver cancer and cirrhosis.
Though some doctors claim that this disease can be cured, no strong evidence can really point to that fact. There may be instances wherein the virus is taken out from the blood through the use of viral medicines but the HCV can very well stay in the organ and the probability of recurrence is quite elevated. Though proper lifestyle can prolong the sufferer’s healthy life, it will be very hard for any patient to live a normal life knowing that they have the hepatitis C virus in their body. More so with the stigma that comes with the disease.
Since HCV is acquired through transfer of contaminated blood, those who are exposed are commonly the drug addicts that share needle sticks, among others. Likewise, though there is really no strong proof that sexual contact can transfer the virus, many such claims are already taken to be truths. Another baseless claim, i.e., bodily fluids may also transfer the HCV to other people, led to a stigma that hepatitis C victims had to suffer on top of the debilitating disease that they already have. All these have led many people to think instantly that if a person has hepatitis C, he is either a drug addict and he is promiscuous. The belief that HCV is transferred through the use of the things held or used by a sufferer made them afraid to be associated with them.
Hepatitis C is contagious but it is not easily transmitted. It is only transferred through the contact with infected blood. That only, nothing else. Unless there are any strong scientific evidence to prove otherwise, there is no reason why people should treat hepatitis C victims like lepers. Despite this fact however, there is a responsibility both on the part of the sufferer as well as the people around him to use extreme precaution and ensure the safe containment of the disease.
Hepatitis C may not have a proper cure at present but the future is far from bleak. Things are being done to remedy the situation. People should however play the sacred role of trying to control the virus as much as possible. The best way to do this is to have yourself tested with hepatitis C virus today. Symptoms are seldom felt and those who managed to discover their HCV virus did so accidentally, e.g., routing checks, blood donations, blood tests for other illnesses, etc. There is no need to wait for the cure to be discovered. Contain the virus now and start living a life just like any normal human.
