Understanding Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder that affects millions of Americans. It occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax excessively, causing temporary blockages of your airway during sleep. These blockages lead to repeated interruptions in breathing, reduced oxygen levels, and frequent awakenings throughout the night.
Symptoms of OSA:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Episodes of stopped breathing during sleep witnessed by another person
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Mood changes, such as irritability or depression
If you recognize these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, it may be time to seek professional help.
Why Chronic Snoring Should Not Be Ignored
While snoring at times can be harmless, chronic snoring due to OSA is a different story. Chronic snoring can disrupt your sleep and that of your partner, leading to daytime fatigue, relationship strain, and other health issues. Beyond disturbing your night's rest, chronic snoring is often a sign of OSA, demanding timely intervention.
