Sleep Apnea

Learn about the benefits, causes, and treatment options for sleep apnea. Learn how this sleep disorder can impact your health and quality of life.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep Apnea is a condition where your breathing stops while asleep.

This disorder can lead to fragmented sleep and lower oxygen levels in your blood.

Three main types of sleep apnea are

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), occurs when throat muscles relax excessively.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), happens when your brain doesn’t send the correct signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Mixed apnea is the combination of OSA and CSA.

OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) patients are at higher risk for other serious health complications.
