What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes your breathing to stop and start periodically throughout the night. The two main types of sleep apnea include obstructive and central sleep apnea.
In obstructive sleep apnea, breathing is interrupted when throat muscles relax and block airways. With central sleep apnea, dysfunction in the brain interferes with the signals to the muscles that control breathing.
You may also develop the condition due to a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea factors.
What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?
Because sleep apnea symptoms appear while you sleep, you may not even know you have the condition. Your partner may complain that you snore loudly or sometimes stop breathing while sleeping.
Other symptoms common with sleep apnea include:
Insomnia
Irritability
Dry mouth
Daytime sleepiness
Frequent morning headaches
Dr. Harouni can determine if your symptoms relate to sleep apnea during your initial evaluation.
What are the risk factors for sleep apnea?
Some factors can increase your risk of developing sleep apnea, such as your family history. Other factors include:
- Weight: Carrying excess weight, especially around the neck, can narrow your airways, making them more prone to collapse during sleep.
- Neck circumference: A larger neck circumference can be a clue to a narrower airway, increasing your risk.
- Anatomy: Certain facial features, like a recessed chin or a small jaw, can also contribute to a blocked airway.
- Family history: Sleep apnea can run in families, suggesting a genetic link.
- Age: The risk of sleep apnea increases as you get older for both men and women.
- Medical conditions: Conditions like allergies, enlarged tonsils, and heart disease can also increase your risk.
