Sleep apnea is a normally dysfunction in which there can be one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep.
Normally without sleep apnea, your airway remains unlock. Your airway consists of the nose, mouth, throat and windpipe.
This permits the flow of air and oxygen into your lungs when you inhale and the flow of carbon dioxide out of your lungs when you exhale.
Obstructive sleep apnea might be minor to dangerous. Your airways may narrow or shut completely.
When the airway collapses a little bit, the airway turns into partially blocked.
This makes it difficult for air to pass into your lungs when you inhale.
Any air that squeezes thought the blockage can cause snoring.
At times the airways may become totally blocked, where there is no airflow. This is called Apnea.
With little of no air flowing towards the lungs, there is a decrease in blood oxygen levels. This alerts your brain to disrupt your sleep which makes it possible to unlock the airway. From time to time obstructed breathing ends with a gasp.
The normal breathing cycles continues until the next episode of obstruction. Episodes might last seconds to minutes and re-occur 1 to 100 times per hour!
