As many as 40 million Americans have varicose veins, and many who have them think it is something they have to live with, but they don’t have to. Minimally invasive treatments have made treating varicose veins a quick, easy and relatively painless process. Plus, the majority of insurance companies and Medicare will cover the procedure if patients meet certain criteria.

What are varicose veins?

Have you noticed any changes in your body lately?

Any difficulty swallowing, skin sores that don’t heal, or night sweats?

These are just a few potential warning signs of cancer.

In 2018, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and 609,640 people will die from it, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The most common types include breast, lung, prostate, colon, rectum, bladder and kidney cancer.

Do you snore, and is it a problem?

If you’re not sure, you might want to find out.

Forty percent of people around the world snore, and 10 percent have sleep apnea, a snoring condition that causes repeated interruptions in breathing as you sleep.

Sleep apnea can lead to heart disease, stroke or other complications.

Most people, however, don’t realize they’re snoring unless someone complains.

Causes
