2,000 suffer from sleep disorders in Marbella Marbella Marbella: "2,000 people arrive at Costa del Sol Hospital annually complaining of sleeping disorders. For them, the arms of Morpheus is an elusive ‘dream’, and in most cases that disorder has a name: apnoea.
‘Over 90 percent of the people we see in the Costa del Sol Hospital have breathing disorders during sleep’, respiratory physician José Joaquín Cebrián said. It is a problem that increases 10 percent every year according to figures, in fact, since the Hospital started its Sleep Unit seven years ago.
‘We started doing some 200 studies per year and in 2009 we made 870. We could do more, but our technical teams are a little short’, Cebrián says.
‘The clearest symptoms of this disease include snoring, but also other respiratory pauses during sleep, and mainly, the daytime sleepiness and fatigue are’, the expert explains. He adds that multiple factors lie behind the disease. However, if one were to produce an ID to identify these patients, being overweight would be the main feature."
