One in five people in the United States suffer from sleep apnea, but 90 percent of them are undiagnosed. Untreated sleep apnea puts you at a higher risk diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and obesity. Fifty percent of Type II diabetics have sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea is defined as a partial or complete collapse of the upper airway when sleeping.  Those who suffer from sleep apnea literally stop breathing during their sleep. Common symptoms of sleep apnea include snoring, high blood pressure and feeling tired or lacking energy during the day.

"One of our patients hadn't slept well for years before undergoing a sleep study," shared Margaret Lindskog, Business Development Coordinator with Provena Care @ Home. "Since using the CPAP machine, he feels much more refreshed in the morning and has been able to come off his blood pressure medicine."
