Snoring? If you have any of the above conditions you could be one of millions of women suffering from Sleep Disordered Breathing. Your respiratory distress at night, inflicts a great deal of damage on your cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and metabolic systems as well as your emotional well-being. Not to mention excess fat around the neck and on the abdomen restricts respiration and leads to Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). Women who are obese run the risk of developing Diabetes, cardiovascular disease and a host of other conditions. SDB only exacerbates the risk. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS):
Estrogen/Progesterone imbalance or deficiency due to hormone imbalance or Menopause: Menopause causes extreme hormonal changes in a woman's body. The production of estrogen, progesterone, and pituitary hormones decreases drastically. Many peri and post-menopausal women are overweight and unable to lose it. Their bodies are no longer producing hormones that dictate the storage of fat and stimulate breathing. Sleep Disordered Breathing is very common in peri- and post-menopausal women.
