Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you may have sleep apnea.

There are three main types of sleep apnea:

1. Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The most common form, occurring when throat muscles relax and block the airway.
2. Central Sleep Apnea: Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.

3. Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, this condition arises when an individual has both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
