Se estima que 3 de cada 4 estadounidenses padecen s\u00edntomas de apnea del sue\u00f1o y ni siquiera se dan cuenta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>En resumen, se trata de una enfermedad muy com\u00fan, pero cr\u00f3nica, que afecta a millones de personas. Los pacientes dejan de respirar repetidamente durante la noche en distintos intervalos, lo que se denomina apnea, que significa \u201csin respiraci\u00f3n\u201d. Estas pausas pueden durar 10 segundos o m\u00e1s y ocurren regularmente durante el ciclo del sue\u00f1o.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Algunos pacientes pueden experimentar entre 5 y 30 episodios de apnea obstructiva del sue\u00f1o en una hora. Cuando la respiraci\u00f3n es irregular, el di\u00f3xido de carbono se acumula en el torrente sangu\u00edneo, lo que hace que el cerebro despierte a la persona dormida para que pueda reanudar la respiraci\u00f3n normal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 ocurre la apnea del sue\u00f1o?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>La gravedad y la relajaci\u00f3n muscular permiten que la lengua y el tejido blando circundante vuelvan a caer en la zona de la garganta de la persona dormida, lo que colapsa las v\u00edas respiratorias y obstruye el flujo de aire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>La afecci\u00f3n puede complicarse a\u00fan m\u00e1s por el exceso de peso o la p\u00e9rdida de tono muscular debido al envejecimiento. Adem\u00e1s, si duerme boca arriba o bebe alcohol, puede experimentar un aumento de la presi\u00f3n arterial.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/sleep-apnea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apnea<\/a>\u00a0eventos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si no busco tratamiento?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>No tratar esta afecci\u00f3n puede tener un efecto significativo en su salud, como aumento de hipertensi\u00f3n resistente a los medicamentos, obesidad, insuficiencia card\u00edaca congestiva, diabetes y enfermedad de las arterias coronarias, por nombrar algunas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Si le han dicho que puede sufrir apnea del sue\u00f1o, es mejor buscar tratamiento lo antes posible, ya que la afecci\u00f3n puede empeorar y provocar otras complicaciones.

Si le diagnostican apnea del sue\u00f1o leve o moderada, su dentista le colocar\u00e1 un dispositivo que puede usar c\u00f3modamente en la boca mientras duerme para ayudar a mantener abiertas las v\u00edas respiratorias.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contacta con nosotras<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Si necesita una buena noche de sue\u00f1o, le recomendamos que reserve su\u00a0<a href=\"\/es\/contact\/\">cita<\/a>\u00a0\u00a1hoy!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been told that you may be suffering from sleep apnea you might be a little worried and wonder what exactly that means.
