Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax excessively and block your airway. This blockage causes loud snoring and can lead to frequent awakenings throughout the night, leaving you feeling exhausted even after a full night's sleep.
In more severe cases, sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other health issues. It’s important to seek treatment to prevent these complications and improve your sleep quality.
What Is Snoring?
Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is partially obstructed, causing vibrations in the throat tissues that produce sound. Snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, but it can also occur without the presence of a more serious condition. While snoring is often harmless, it can disrupt sleep for both the person snoring and their bed partner, leading to daytime fatigue, irritability, and relationship stress.

If you or your partner experience any of the following, it may be time to seek professional help:
