What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. Loud snoring, tiredness even after a good night sleep, and morning headaches are common symptoms.

There are three types of sleep apnea

Obstructive (OSA)

The most common type of sleep apnea. Occurs when the tissues in your throat relax and partially or fully block your airway.

Central

Obstructive (OSA)

Occurs due to a neurological reason. The brain is not sending the proper messages to your muscles that control breathing.

Complex

Obstructive (OSA)

Complex

Combination of Obstructive and Central Sleep Apnea.

Treatment for Sleep Apnea

The most common and effective treatment for OSA is the use of a CPAP machine. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. The machine pushes a steady stream of air through your airway to keep it open while you sleep.
