Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, resulting in non-restorative sleep and daytime fatigue. The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where upper airways collapse and block the ability to breath. Symptoms include snoring, gasping, morning headaches, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a medical physician after a sleep study.
