Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Repeated airway blockage during sleep that fragments rest and lowers oxygen.

In simple language

Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the airway narrows or closes again and again during sleep. People may snore loudly, wake up tired, or notice headaches, poor concentration, and daytime sleepiness.

Poor sleep quality can worsen blood pressure, appetite, glucose control, mood, energy, and cardiovascular risk.
