Sleep apnea is a a potentially serious sleeping disorder in which there is a pause in the breathing while a person is sleeping, when the breathing stops and starts that lead to decrease in the level of oxygen.
It occurs repeatedly when you take a nap, especially at night.
They are mainly of 2 types:
- Obstructive sleep apnea which is the most common form that occurs when throat muscles relax and block the flow of air into the lungs.
These muscles support the soft palate – the uvula, the tonsils, the side walls of the throat and the tongue.
When the muscles relax, your airway narrows or closes as you breathe in resulting in not getting enough air, which can lower the oxygen level in your blood and lead to brief episodes of disturb sleep.
You might snore, choke or gasp that makes it hard to reach restful phases of sleep.
- Central sleep apnea a less common type which occurs when the brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
You might awaken with shortness of breath or have a difficult time getting to sleep or staying asleep.

- High blood pressure.
Possible causes of sleep apnea:
- Aged or being older or with family history.
- Smoking leads to the problem of sleep apnea. Due to smoking, swelling is caused in the neck and throat. It decreases the space left for the flow of air. It reduces the flow of oxygen which leads to breathing problems.
- Obesity – Fats deposit in the upper side of the respiratory tract causing the decrease in the size of the airway.
- A narrowed airway can cause the sleep apnea problem. When the muscles at the back of the throat relax, then the airway becomes narrow. The narrowing of the airway leads to the decrease of flow of oxygen during the sleep which leads to the problem of sleeping apnea.
- Use of alcohol – Consuming alcohol leads to relaxation in the muscles of the throat. This relaxation of the muscles may cause the problem of sleeping apnea.
- Use of narcotic pain medicines, sedatives or tranquilizers.
- Nasal congestion causes breathing problems due to common cold, allergies, smoking, alcohol etc.
- People with thicker necks might have narrower airways.
- Men are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop sleep apnea than are women.
- Women increase their risk if they’re overweight or if they’ve gone through menopause.
Other associated causes of sleeping apnea may include:
- Hypothyroidism
- A narrow throat
- Problem with nose structure
- Neck circumference
