SleepTrends Diagnostic Centers understands that proper patient education is an essential step along your path to attaining healthy sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea is the partial or full obstruction of the airway during sleep.  As the opening begins to narrow, your effort to breathe will increase in strength.  This change in effort will alert the brain causing an arousal from sleep at which time the muscles will respond and normal breathing will resume.  This is recurrent and happens tens to hundreds of times throughout the night.  The causes of OSA are numerous.  They include, but are not limited to, a smaller than normal jaw, enlarged tonsils, a large tongue, or tissue that partially obstruct the airway passage.  OSA often occurs in overweight people, where fatty tissue can affect the size or shape of the breathing passage.   Need more information.
