Description
The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles in the throat relax too much, blocking the airway. Another form, central sleep apnea, occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.Because sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed, many people suffer for years without realizing their symptoms. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
