Sleep Apnea and Anxiety – Enticare, Chandler, AZ
Struggling to sleep can leave you anxious, groggy, and unfocused. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by throat muscles relaxing and blocking your airway during sleep, affects millions of Americans and can worsen anxiety and mood disorders. Untreated OSA increases risks of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues.
While anxiety doesn’t directly cause OSA, it can disrupt sleep, creating a cycle where lack of rest worsens anxiety symptoms. Central sleep apnea, linked to brain signaling issues, can also overlap with anxiety-related conditions.
Treatment is crucial. CPAP therapy and other sleep interventions improve sleep quality, helping reduce anxiety and restore daily focus.
