What exactly is Sleep Apnea?

Vital health It is difficult for the patient to recognize the symptoms of sleep apnea, which can cause problems. The patient usually becomes aware of abnormal situations in sleep when his or her spouse or relatives notice them.

Irregular breathing

The most important symptom of sleep apnea is sudden breathing pauses, very loud snoring and sighing during sleep.

Normally, the muscles that control the upper respiratory tract (muscles surrounding the throat and larynx) relax during sleep. If this relaxation is too much The upper respiratory tract narrows and "snoring" sounds are produced by the vibrations of the air entering and exiting during breathing. Snoring is the sound made by breathing that is difficult or distressed during sleep.

Sometimes, the airway becomes completely blocked during sleep and breathing is temporarily interrupted. This condition is called “apnea”. In case of respiratory arrest (apnea), interruption of breathing for at least 10 seconds and recurrence of breathing pauses at least 5 times per hour is described as "sleep apnea disease". Patients struggle to sleep as if they are suffocating, with repeated breathing pauses in their sleep.
