What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apneas, occur when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked. This can lead to fragmented sleep and low oxygen levels, resulting in a range of health issues.

There are two main types of sleep apnea:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common form, caused by a physical blockage of the upper airway, often due to relaxed throat muscles and tissues.
  • Central Sleep Apnea: Less common, caused by a failure of the brain to send appropriate signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea can present with a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Loud Snoring: Often reported by bed partners, loud snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea.
  • Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: Feeling excessively tired or drowsy during the day, even after a full night’s sleep.
  • Choking or Gasping During Sleep: Sudden awakenings with a choking or gasping sensation.
  • Morning Headaches: Frequent headaches upon waking, often caused by low oxygen levels during the night.
  • Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing or memory issues due to poor-quality sleep.
  • Irritability or Mood Changes: Increased mood swings or irritability related to sleep disturbances.
