What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that can lead to significant complications. It results in intermittent cessation and resumption of breathing during the night.

There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive (caused by relaxation of throat muscles), central (stemming from inadequate brain signals to muscles), and complex (involving both obstructive and central sleep apnea).

 

What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?

Symptoms of sleep apnea encompass:

• Loud snoring
• Episodes of breath cessation observed by another person
• Gasping for air during sleep
• Dry mouth upon waking
• Morning headaches
• Difficulty maintaining sleep
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability

 

How can I treat sleep apnea?

Lifestyle adjustments, like weight loss or smoking cessation, are often effective for mild sleep apnea. Allergy treatment may be necessary if sleep apnea is allergy-related. Severe cases typically require treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or other airway pressure devices, and in some instances, oral appliances. Surgery is considered a last resort when other treatment options prove ineffective.
