Alternative Therapies for Sleep Apnea

[Guest guest]

Decreased serotonin levels in the body can also lead to sleep apnea

as nerves that control breathing needs adequate serotonin supply.

Serotonin receptors also control the release of cortisol, a hormone

that helps in controlling the breathing muscles.

So disturbed breathing in sleep apnea is found to be as a result of

malfunction of the serotonin system.

As a result, use of serotonin precursors (5-HTP) may benefit some

people suffering from sleep apnea.
