Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder. The term "apnea" means "no breathing," and in the context of sleep apnea, it refers to pauses in breathing that occur during sleep. An "apnea" event is defined as a blockage in breathing lasting more than 10 seconds. These interruptions typically last between 10 to 30 seconds on average, prompting the brain to briefly wake the individual to restore normal breathing.
During each episode of apnea, oxygen levels in the blood drop, the heart rate increases, and sleep is momentarily disrupted to restore breathing. This cycle of repeated awakenings and cardiac stress can occur many times throughout the night. While the sleeper may not consciously remember these interruptions, they often experience restlessness and poor sleep quality, leading to significant impacts on daytime functioning and overall well-being.
The term "obstructed" refers to a blockage of the airway caused by the relaxation and collapse of tissues in the mouth and throat, including the tongue, tonsils, soft palate, and uvula. Excess weight is a common contributing factor to OSA, as increased fatty deposits in the throat can further narrow the airway and exacerbate the condition.
A consistent schedule of adequate, high-quality sleep is essential for feeling rested and refreshed each morning. However, the repeated disruptions caused by OSA—along with reduced blood oxygen levels—can severely interfere with normal sleep patterns. Over time, this can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, memory issues, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, and a significant decline in overall quality of life.
Sleep apnea poses significant health risks, with sleepiness being its most common symptom. However, the condition is linked to a wide range of serious complications, including:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) can present with a variety of symptoms, including:
