About this condition

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In obstructive sleep apnea the muscles around the upper airway relax during sleep until the airway narrows or closes, interrupting breathing. Each pause ends in a brief awakening that restores breathing but fragments sleep, and the cycle can repeat dozens of times an hour without the sleeper being aware of it.

Common signs are loud snoring, breathing pauses noticed by a bed partner, waking unrefreshed, morning headache and daytime sleepiness. Severity is measured during a sleep study by the apnea-hypopnea index, the average number of breathing events per hour. Untreated, it is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Positive airway pressure therapy is the standard treatment, though not everyone can tolerate it.
