Sleep Disorders / Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder that involves a decrease or complete halt in airflow despite an ongoing effort to breathe. It occurs when the muscles relax during sleep, causing soft tissue in the back of the throat to collapse and block the upper airway. Symptoms include loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, decreased memory/concentration and/or morning headaches. If untreated, OSA can increase the risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident or cause elevated blood pressure, erectile dysfunction and/or congestive heart failure.
