About Sleep Apnea

If you are seeking a professional sleep agency to give you more information “About Sleep Apnea” then you have found the right place!

 

Sleep Apnea is the absence of proper breathing during sleep. There are three types of sleep apnea:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA – See below)
  • Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): the brain stops sending messages to the breathing muscles and breathing temporarily stops)
  • Mixed Sleep Apnea (a combination of OSA and CSA)

Our sleep apnea experts are experienced in treating each type of sleep apnea with the treatment best suited for you.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea. It is a condition where an individual repeatedly stops breathing in their sleep due to an obstruction of the upper throat (airway).

In the affected person, the muscles around the throat cannot support the soft tissues surrounding the airway during deep sleep. The result is a collapse of the throat tissues into the airway, preventing air from entering and exiting the lungs.
