Sleep apnea is caused by the obstruction of the airway during sleep, which leads to interrupted breathing. Common factors include excess weight, enlarged tonsils, a narrow *upper* airway, or anatomical abnormalities. Other contributing factors can be age, family history, and lifestyle choices such as smoking or alcohol consumption.
Sleep apnea is diagnosed through a sleep study or Polysomnography, which can be conducted at home(HSAT) or in a sleep clinic. This study monitors your breathing patterns, airway obstruction, oxygen levels, heart rate, and other vital signs while you sleep. The data is then analyzed by a somnologist, who will determine the presence and severity of sleep apnea.
Treatment options for sleep apnea include lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and avoiding alcohol, the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, oral appliances, and, in some cases, surgery. The appropriate treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the underlying causes.
