Sleep Apnea

The reduction in oxygen and increase in carbon dioxide alert the brain to resume breathing and cause an arousal. With each arousal, a signal is sent from the brain to the upper airway muscles to open the airway; breathing is resumed, often with a loud snort or gasp. Frequent arousals, although necessary for breathing to restart, prevent a person from getting enough restorative, deep sleep.

What are the causes of sleep apnea?

Certain mechanical and structural problems in the airway cause the interruptions in breathing during sleep.

Apnea occurs:

-when the throat muscles and tongue relax during sleep and partially block the opening of the airway.

-when the muscles of the soft palate at the base of the tongue and the uvula relax and sag, the airway becomes blocked, making breathing labored and noisy and even stopping it altogether.

-in obese people when an excess amount of tissue in the airway causes it to be narrowed.

-with a narrowed airway, the person continues his/her efforts to breathe, but air cannot easily flow into or out of the nose or mouth.

How is sleep apnea diagnosed?

Diagnosis of sleep apnea is not simple because there can be many different causes.

Primary care physicians, pulmonologists, neurologists, or other physicians with specialty training in sleep disorders may be involved in making a definitive diagnosis and initiating treatment.

How is sleep apnea treated?

Specific treatment will be determined by your physician based on:

-your age, overall health, and medical history
-extent of the disease
-your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
-expectations for the course of the disease
-your opinion or preference
Medications are generally not effective in the treatment of sleep apnea.
