What is Snoring and Sleep Apnea?

Snoring is a raspy or loud sound produced by air passing through relaxed tissues in the throat, causing the tissues to vibrate while you breathe. Snoring is something that almost everyone does from time to time, but for some people, it may become a persistent problem. It might also be a sign of a significant health problem. Furthermore, snoring might be a bother to your partner. Besides, excess snoring can even cause sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a disorder that is potentially fatal in which breathing stops and starts repetitively. In such cases, snoring and sleep apnea treatment is necessary. You must ensure that you consult a qualified ENT doctor who can guide you through the right line of sleep apnea treatment. Some of the common types of sleep apnea are:

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the neck muscles relax and limit airflow into the lungs.

Central sleep apnea (CSA) is when the brain fails to provide correct signals to the muscles that govern breathing.

Treatment-emergent central or complex sleep apnea occurs when someone has OSA (as determined by a sleep study) that transforms into CSA while getting OSA therapy.

Sleep Apnea Symptoms:

The symptoms of central and obstructive sleep apnea may sometimes overlap, making it tough to understand which type you have. Some of the common symptoms of obstructive and central sleep apneas include:

Loud snoring.

Gasping for air during sleep.

Episodes in which you stop breathing during sleep.

Awakening with a dry mouth.

Morning headache or Irritability.

Difficulty staying asleep, known as insomnia.
