Have Anxiety? What Your Doctor Doesn't Know
Steven Park Diseases And Conditions
If you've tried all this and still don't sleep too well, before you resort to medications, take a look at my free report called Tired of Being Tired? at http://www.constantlytired.com. From Dr. Steven Y. Park, MD - http://www.DoctorStevenPark.com.
Do you
have an anxiety problem which is affecting your life? Do you overreact to
everything or have pain attacks for no reason? Do you wake up in the middle of
the night in a state of panic, in a cold sweat and with your heart racing out of
control? Many people with panic disorders can be treated either conservatively
with therapy of stress control and relaxation methods, but many people end up
being placed on an anti-anxiety medications.
Any time I see patients in my practice with anxiety disorders, in almost every
case, the person prefers not to sleep on his or her back. The reasons for this
is that due to certain anatomic factors, if the person lays flat on his or her
back, then due to gravity, the tongue falls back partially. If they have smaller
than normal jaws, or any degree of dental crowding, the tongue falls back even
further. Everything is fine until they go into deep sleep, when all the muscles
(including the throat and tongue muscles) relax, and the tongue falls back and
obstructs breathing.
