ReplyDeletepnea=breathing
Some people have moments at night when they stop breathing for a few seconds. A Otolaryngologist will determine the severity with testing-surgical intervention will take place if there are episodes of apnea. Most surgical cases have apnic episodes during one night sleep above 100x, some go up to 700x. (these are times that one would stop breathing)
Yeah, what that person above me said... PLUS:
ReplyDeletePeople stop breathing for many different reasons. Sometimes a person just has large tonsils, uvula, an extended palate (roof of the mouth) or the tongue slides down the throat, blocking airflow while you're asleep.
Its dangerous, because while you're not breathing... your heart kinda panics for lack of oxygen and sometimes increases your blood pressure. When you start breathing again, you can jostle yourself awake, making it impossible to have a good solid nights sleep - which leads to other health and mental problems. Socially, most people with sleep apnea snore like gorillas... making very difficult for loved ones to sleep (and in children, impossible to go to a sleepover).
"cures" range from things as simple as losing weight (neck circumferance has been linked to disorder), there are pills and sprays, there is a breathing machine which forces air down your throat to keep the airway open... Or you can have surgery... where they remove excess tissue (ie Tonsils, uvula, any unnessicary extension of the palete) (Its called a UPPP if you wanna look that up)
