WHAT IS SLEEP APNOEA?
Sleep apnoea (Pickwickian syndrome) is characterized by recurrent episodes of disrupted breathing, for 10 seconds or more, at a frequency of over 30 times per night, causing hypoxia and increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. It mainly disturbs the quality of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and there can be as many as 20 or 30 episodes per hour; there is a strong association with snoring. The condition affects up to 4% of adults and is more common in men than women by about 4 to 1, although postmenopausal women who are not on HRT have an increased prevalence.
Spouses will often describe episodes when breathing stops for periods of up to a minute, followed by a loud grunt and the resumption of a normal pattern; sufferers describe startled awakening and choking. Daytime symptoms include drowsiness and somnolence, fatigue, memory loss, headaches and mood swings.
Studies show that almost half of patients complaining of daytime somnolence suffer from sleep apnoea. Complications include pulmonary hypertension, right heart failure, hypertension, stroke and cardiac arrhythmias, especially bradycardia, atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia. The main cause of mortality is accidental death caused by falling asleep in inappropriate situations; there is a seven-fold increase in car accidents among sufferers of sleep apnoea. It is thought that there might be an increased risk of myocardial infarction but the evidence for this is inconclusive.
