Sleep Apnea is the cessation of the air flow while sleeping due to collapse of your throat. This causes decrease in oxygen in your body, because of which you try to open your throat and in doing so you wake up. You then finally open the throat and fall back to sleep. Most of the time you might not even know that you woke up as you wake up for micro second just enough to open your throat and then right back to sleep.
If you are doing this five times per hour or more you have Sleep Apnea and that will need treatment. It’s important to treat Sleep Apnea to reduce the risk to your health and well being. Symptoms associated with Sleep Apnea are usually, Snoring and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness.
It’s usually the spouse or significant other who brings the patient to us as she is disturbed by loud snoring and other times the patient him or her self is sick of being sleepy and tired during the day and thus sought medical help.
