Understanding Sleep Apnea and Sleep Disorders
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to airway obstruction or reduced respiratory drive. The most common type is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), where the throat muscles relax and block the airway during sleep.
People with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, enlarged tonsils, nasal obstruction, or a family history of sleep apnea are at greater risk. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes complications, daytime fatigue, and poor concentration.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help improve sleep quality, breathing, and overall health.
Common Symptoms
You should consult a pulmonologist if you experience:
- Loud and frequent snoring
- Pauses in breathing during sleep
- Gasping or choking while sleeping
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor sleep quality
- Fatigue despite adequate sleep
- Irritability or mood changes
- Difficulty staying asleep
These symptoms should not be ignored, as they may indicate an underlying sleep-related breathing disorder.
