What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops or becomes shallow during sleep. These interruptions may occur hundreds of times each night, reducing oxygen levels and preventing restful sleep.
The most common form is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), where the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. Less commonly, sleep apnea may occur due to problems with the brain's breathing control mechanism, known as Central Sleep Apnea (CSA).
Without treatment, sleep apnea can lead to serious long-term health complications.
