Types of Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
This is the most common type of sleep apnea where the throat muscles relax and prevent the movement of air into the lungs.
Snoring is the most obvious sign then as the airway passage becomes narrow with diaphragm and chest muscles working harder to squeeze in air through the limited space available.
During obstructive sleep apnea, one may not get a refreshing sleep. He may also not be aware of this condition when he wakes up.
Central Sleep Apnea
Unlike the obstructive sleep apnea, here there is no obstruction in the airway but the brain is not able to signal the respiratory muscles to breathe.
This happens due to the unstable respiratory control center.
Mixed Sleep Apnea
Mixed sleep apnea is a combination of both central as well as obstructive sleep apnea.
Risk Factors
