What are the effects of sleep apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA, is a common sleep disorder in which your upper airway collapses totally or partially for 10 seconds or more while you are sleeping. This obstruction in the upper airway will cause snoring and reduces the amount of air getting into your lungs. Due to repeated collapses of airways air will not pass through the lungs which reduces your oxygen level. Due to a lack of oxygen, you will wake up and start to breathe in again. Frequent awakening in the night will cause daytime sleepiness and will have negative consequences on your health.
