Sleep apnea vs. chronic pain 😪 Here's what you need to know! Most people associate sleep apnea with loud snoring and daytime sleepiness. But did you know it can also contribute to chronic pain? 🤕 Research has shown a significant link between sleep apnea and increased pain sensitivity, especially in conditions like fibromyalgia and headaches. The disrupted sleep and oxygen deprivation caused by sleep apnea can trigger inflammation and heighten your perception of pain. If you're struggling with chronic pain and also experience symptoms like snoring, gasping for air during sleep, or daytime fatigue, it's worth considering a sleep apnea evaluation. Addressing sleep apnea can often lead to a reduction in pain levels and an improvement in overall quality of life. Don't let pain and sleeplessness hold you back. Take the first step towards a healthier, more comfortable you by scheduling a consultation today. Share this with someone in your life who is struggling with a good night's sleep! #drkristinawolf #sleepapnea #osa #sleepbetter #ohiodoctor #clevelanddoctor #sleepdoctor
