Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes repeated pauses in breathing during the night. These interruptions can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur dozens or even hundreds of times each night.
There are three main types:
lineObstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
is the result of impeded airflow during sleep, such as from narrowed airways. Factors such as obesity often contribute to obstructive sleep apnea.
lineCentral sleep apnea
results from a problem with the brain signaling the breathing muscles. This type of apnea can occur with conditions such as heart failure, brain tumors, brain infections, and stroke.
lineMixed sleep apnea
is a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health risks including:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Type 2 diabetes
- Depression and anxiety
- Daytime fatigue and memory loss
Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?
- Loud or frequent snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Daytime drowsiness or fatigue
- Trouble concentrating
- Irritability or mood swings
- Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
- Restless sleep
