ShareSleep Apnea-Mahaswasa
Causes of Sleep Apnea
- Obstructive sleep apnea: It occurs when the muscles present in the back of the throat get relaxed. When these muscles relax, the airway get narrowed or even closed as air is breathed in. This reduces availability of enough air, which leads to decrease in the oxygen level in blood. The brain senses the difficulty in breathing and makes the person rise from sleep so that airway can be reopened. This arising is generally so brief that the patient doesn’t remember. This pattern can repeat for about five to 30 times or more per hour, throughout the night. It will definitely affect the quality of sleep.
- Central Sleep Apnea: This is a less common type of sleep apnea. It occurs when the brain doesn’t transmit signals to breathing muscles. This leads to lack of breathing efforts for a little period. The patient may arise with experiencing shortness of breath.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
The most common manifestations of obstructive and central sleep apneas are as follows;
- Loud snoring
- Episodes of stoppage of breathing during sleep that is reported by a second person
- Gasping during sleep for breathing
- Awakening with a dry mouth
- Headache during morning
- Lack of enough sleep
- Excessive sleep during day time
- Lack of concentration while awake
- Irritability
