Sleep Apnea
Overview
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, you might have sleep apnea.
Types of Sleep Apnea
The main types of sleep apnea are:
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is the more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax and block the flow of air into the lungs
- Central sleep apnea (CSA), which occurs when the brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing
- Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, also known as complex sleep apnea, which happens when someone has OSA — diagnosed with a sleep study — that converts to CSA when receiving therapy for OSA
