Info
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the muscles of the soft palate at the base of the tongue and the uvula relax and sag, obstructing the airway, resulting in laboured breathing and noisy snoring. The collapse of the airway walls blocks breathing entirely. When you begin to breathe, however, it’s accompanied with loud snoring. The snoring is akin to slurping a drink through a straw that is stuck in a lump of ice cream. A listener hears deep gasping as breathing starts. With each gasp, you awaken, but so briefly and incompletely that you don’t remember doing so in the morning. Concomitantly, when breathing periodically stops, a listener hears pauses in your snoring. Sometimes, these pauses can last 10-20 seconds, or more and can be 5 to over 100 times per hour.
