Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder caused by brief interruptions in breathing during sleep. It affects as many as 18 million Americans of all ages and genders (although it is more prevalent in men).
There are two types of sleep apnea:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the nose or mouth while efforts to breathe are being made.
Central sleep apnea
Occurs when the brain does not send the proper signals to initiate breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is more common than central sleep apnea.
When left untreated, it leads to:
- Rhythmic Heartbeats
- Hypertension
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Daytime sleepiness
