What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These interruptions can occur hundreds of times throughout the night, preventing your body from getting the restorative rest it needs. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when throat muscles relax excessively, blocking your airway.

Common symptoms include:

  • Loud, chronic snoring
  • Gasping or choking during sleep
  • Morning headaches
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability and mood changes
  • High blood pressure

Without proper treatment, sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Dr. Foleck emphasizes the importance of early intervention to prevent these long-term health risks.
