In sleep apnoea, breathing repeatedly stops and starts while you sleep, alternating with sudden snoring and waking up with a start.
In sleep apnoea, breathing repeatedly stops and starts while you sleep, alternating with sudden snoring and waking up with a start. It is often caused by an obstruction of the airways in the throat. Because they sleep badly, patients suffer from chronic fatigue during the day and tend to experience episodes of microsleep, which can be quite dangerous. Preventive measures include losing weight, among others.
Important: combination of central and obstructive apnoea can occur
