Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder in which the airway repeatedly becomes blocked or narrowed during sleep. This usually occurs because the muscles in the throat relax, causing the airway to partially or completely collapse, obstructing airflow. When the airway becomes blocked, the person temporarily stops breathing – a pause that can last from a few seconds to over a minute, and can happen many times during the night.
Obstructive sleep apnea most often affects adults, especially those who are overweight. Other risk factors include age, smoking, alcohol consumption, an anatomically narrow airway, and a family history of sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea can have serious health consequences, such as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, so it is important to get treatment if you have symptoms.
