Understanding Sleep Apnea: Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated breathing interruptions during the night. Affected individuals often experience daytime fatigue, concentration problems, and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. An effective treatment in consultation with your doctor is essential to improve sleep quality and prevent health complications. CPAP devices, custom‑fitted masks, and suitable accessories help keep the airways open, ensuring restful sleep. OxyCare provides tailored solutions for effective sleep apnea therapy – for more energy and well‑being.
What is Sleep Apnea?
In the video, Dr. med. (Univ. Tuzla) Amel Havkic explains causes, consequences, and treatment options for sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops or slows during sleep. There are three main types:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Caused by narrowing or blockage of the upper airway, usually due to relaxed throat muscles.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Results from improper breathing regulation in the brain.
- Mixed Sleep Apnea: Combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea, with both airway blockages and inadequate respiratory control.
All forms can lead to daytime fatigue, concentration problems, and long‑term health risks. A medical evaluation by your physician is essential to initiate the right therapy and improve quality of life.
