Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep. You may have sleep apnea if you snore loudly, and you feel tired even after a full night's sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea, which is the most common form, occurs when the muscles in the throat relax, and despite efforts to breathe, the breathing passage narrows and collapses. Central sleep apnea, the rarer form, occurs when the brain fails to properly control breathing during sleep. The videos below offer insight into the symptoms, risks, types and treatment of sleep apnea. To learn more, call 405-636-7700.
