Older people, men and people who are overweight are more likely to have sleep apnea. The organization estimates that 33 million Americans use a CPAP machine to treat sleep apnea.
Zepbound, a popular weight loss drug from Eli Lilly, may help people with sleep apnea. Based on recent findings, Eli Lilly plans to submit the material to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ...
Obesity. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome ( OHS) is a condition in which severely overweight people fail to breathe rapidly or deeply enough, resulting in low oxygen levels and high blood carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels. The syndrome is often associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which causes periods of absent or reduced breathing in ...
Sleep apnea: This sleep disorder affects about 20 percent of the population. It can interrupt sleep patterns and reduce the quality of sleep. Symptoms include snoring and temporary episodes of ...
Low doses of alcohol (one 360.0 ml (13 imp fl oz; 12 US fl oz) beer) are sleep-promoting by increasing total sleep time and reducing awakenings during the night. The sleep-promoting benefits of alcohol dissipate at moderate and higher doses of alcohol (two 12 oz. beers and three 12 oz. beers, respectively).
Alcohol withdrawal syndrome ( AWS) is a set of symptoms that can occur following a reduction in alcohol use after a period of excessive use. [1] Symptoms typically include anxiety, shakiness, sweating, vomiting, fast heart rate, and a mild fever. [1] More severe symptoms may include seizures, and delirium tremens (DTs); which can be fatal in ...
The short-term effects of alcohol consumption range from a decrease in anxiety and motor skills and euphoria at lower doses to intoxication (drunkenness), to stupor, unconsciousness, anterograde amnesia (memory "blackouts"), and central nervous system depression at higher doses. Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once it is in ...
Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which repetitive pauses in breathing, periods of shallow breathing, or collapse of the upper airway during sleep results in poor ventilation and sleep disruption. [10] [11] Each pause in breathing can last for a few seconds to a few minutes and occurs many times a night. [1]
