Frequently Asked Questions on Obstructive Sleep Apnea

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where a person experiences disrupted breathing during sleep. Individuals with untreated sleep apnea may stop breathing multiple times throughout the night. There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), and complex sleep apnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent form.

What are the Types of Sleep Apnea?

There are three types of sleep apnea:

  1. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) – This is the most common type of sleep apnea. It occurs due to a physical blockage in the airway, typically caused by the collapse of soft tissues at the back of the throat.
  2. Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) – This type involves the cessation of breathing due to the brain not sending the proper signals to the muscles involved in breathing. It is less common and typically not treatable with oral appliances.
  3. Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome – This is a combination of OSA and CSA.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

OSA is characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep due to an airway blockage. These obstructions occur when the throat muscles, tongue, tonsils, or soft palate collapse into the throat, leading to a significant drop in blood oxygen levels throughout the night.

What Are the Causes or Risk Factors for Sleep Apnea?

Common causes and risk factors for sleep apnea include:

  1. Excessive body weight
  2. Smoking
  3. Family history of sleep apnea
  4. Men are at higher risk
  5. Elderly individuals
  6. Nasal congestion
  7. Increased neck circumference
  8. Use of alcohol or sedatives

Can I Choose the Treatment Option for Sleep Apnea?

It is always best to follow the recommendations of healthcare professionals, as they are the experts in managing sleep apnea. Your physician will recommend the most appropriate treatment options based on your sleep study data, body physiology, and specific causes of your sleep apnea.
