What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes breathing to stop and repeatedly start during sleep. It is often distinguished by loud snoring, gasping or choking sounds, and excessive daytime sleepiness. There are three types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): This is the most common form of sleep apnea and occurs when the throat muscles relax and block the airway.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) occurs when the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe, leading to breathing pauses.
- Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome (CompSA) combines OSA and CSA.
Our experienced professionals will work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on your needs and preferences.
