sleep apnea

Some people think sleep apnea is only snoring, but that’s a dangerous misunderstanding. Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder. During sleep, the patient’s upper airway becomes blocked, usually by sagging tissues in the throat or the back of the tongue, and airflow ceases. When this happens the brain senses the lack of oxygen and it wakes the person to restart breathing. These interruptions can occur dozens of times every night. Often the person does not remember waking.
