OSA or Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when a person’s airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. This is the most common type of sleep apnea. It can be caused by obesity, smoking, wider neck circumference, narrow airway, nasal congestion, and having OSA in one’s family history.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder marked by disruptions of breathing during sleep. These pauses in breathing can last from seconds to minutes and may occur one hundred or more times in a single night. This condition can be life-threatening if left untreated, but CPAP therapy and lifestyle changes can greatly improve the quality of sleep and extend the life of the patient.
