What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea refers to a condition that causes repeated breathing interruptions during sleep, often due to an obstruction of the airway. These pauses in breathing can lead to poor sleep quality, among other issues such as daytime fatigue, memory loss, impaired motor function, and irritability/moodiness. It can also trigger long-term issues affecting the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Some common signs and symptoms of sleep apnea include loud, chronic snoring, gasping for air, and morning headaches. Perhaps the worst part of sleep apnea, though, is its discretion – many patients aren’t even aware they have it!
