Sleep apnea is a very common disorder that affects more than twelve million Americans. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly while they sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer. Untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches. Come early to this seminar to take a free assessment to see if you might be affected by sleep apnea.
