OSA can affect the body and cause a variety of negative physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects, says Dr. Bharathi's cell phone

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder that causes people to start and stop breathing repeatedly.

This occurs when the throat powers periodically relax also block the airway during sleep. The obvious sign of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring.

Could it be deadly?

"Obstructive sleep apnea is closely related to several life-threatening conditions. This can cause or worsen chronic diseases such as high blood pressure. OSA can also cause sudden cardiac death. People who earn fat in the neck, tongue, also upper abdomen are prone to sleep apnea. 

This weight loss the diameter of the throat and puts pressure on the lungs, which contributes to airway collapse during sleep," said Dr. HP Bharathi, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jindal Naturecure Institute.

Precautions and Care

In some cases, sleep apnea can be ministered with lifestyle changes.

Exercise and a Good Diet: It's essential to fill your plate with heart-healthy options like vegetables, fruit, and whole grains and get plenty of activities. Adopting these healthy habits can help people maintain a healthy weight, which is important because obesity can increase the risk of sleep apnea.

Avoid smoking and alcohol: Smoking and alcohol can increase upper airway inflammation and impair function.

Don't sleep on your back: Sleeping on your back can increase the chance of the tongue and soft palate re-entering the airway, which can cause airway obstruction, snoring, and sleep apnea. The CPAP machine is the most common maintenance device used at home. It gently pushes compressed air into your airways through a mask worn over your nose and mouth (or just above your nose) to keep it open while a person is sleeping at night. If the ventilator isn't working, your doctor may suggest an oral device.

Is it being ignored and ignored?

Because the main symptoms of sleep apnea—breathing pauses, shortness of breath, and accompanying snoring—occur during sleep, many peoples with sleep apnea may not even notice it.
