The Visual picture of sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which the breathing repeatedly starts and stops.
How to get rid of Sleep Apnea naturally? Treatment In Natural Ways
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a condition presenting with many pauses in breathing while a person is asleep. The condition was first described in the literature by Dickens in the Pickwick Papers and hence sometimes referred to as the Pickwickian syndrome.
A person has SAS if he stops breathing 5 or more times in 1 hour while asleep. Or, if he stops breathing 30 or more times during a 6-hour sleep period.
SAS Two Types: Central and Obstructive (OSAS)
In the central variety, the airways stay open, while the chest muscles and diaphragm stop working. This occurs mostly when the respiratory centers within the brain are impaired (as happens with drugs like heroin, and other opiates).
Premature children, persons on tranquillizers are more prone to CSAS. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common category of sleep-disordered breathing.
When sleeping, the muscle tone of the throat and neck, as well as the vast majority of all skeletal muscles, is reduced allowing the tongue and soft palate/oropharynx to relax.
In the case of sleep apnea, this impedes the flow of air to a degree ranging from light snoring to complete collapse.
Conditions Associated with OSAS.
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids (EBV infections),
- Left palate,
- Downs syndrome,
- Treacher Collins syndrome,
- Pierre Robin Sequence etc.
- Obesity.
Risk factors of SAS
- Most adults with sleep apnea are obese, with particular heaviness on the face and neck.
- Men are more often affected than women.
- Children and toddlers with defects like Down syndrome, cleft palate, etc.

Sleep Deprivation due to Sleep Apnea and insufficient sleep are common and can present as insomnia, narcolepsy, or idiopathic hypersomnia (increased sleepiness).
Two big signs that you have it are: loud snoring and tiredness even after a night’s sleep. I have already told two main types of sleep apnea namely:
- Obstructive sleep apnea –
- Central sleep apnea –
- There is also another kind of sleep apnea. It’s complex sleep apnea. What it is?
- Complex sleep apnea syndrome – This is also known as treatment emergent central sleep apnea. It occurs when the person has both, obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
Symptoms
- Loud snoring
- Times of breathing cessation during sleep
- Sudden wakening, accompanied by shortness of breath
- Waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat
- Morning headache
- Insomnia
- Hypersomnia
- Attention problems

Lifestyle changes such as losing weight or quitting smoking or treating any nasal allergies will amend milder cases of sleep apnea. If symptoms persist then certain devices such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) can help open up blocked air passages otherwise surgery may be necessary.

Can sleep apnea cause you to gain weight?
A growing body of research is finding a link between sleep disorders and weight gain. And it can be a vicious cycle. Insufficient sleep can lead to weight gain, which can lead to a serious problem called sleep apnea, which produces more sleep deprivation and more packing on of the pounds.
Can you have obstructive sleep apnea without snoring?
However many obstructive sleep apnea patients DO NOT SNORE. Snoring is only one sign of obstructive sleep apnea. In fact, if a long time snorer no longer snores, this may actually indicate that his or her obstructive sleep apnea has increased in severity in that there is now complete blockage of the airway.
