What is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnoea (known as OSA) is a common sleep problem where your airways narrow in the night, which stops your breathing for short spells when you are asleep.
What causes Sleep Apnea?
Factors that increase the risk of developing Sleep Apnea (OSA) include:
• Being overweight or obesity. Particularly if you have a thick neck, as the extra fat in the neck can squash your airway.
• Drinking alcohol in the evening.
• Enlarged tonsils.
• Taking sedative medicines such as sleeping tablets or tranquilisers.
• Sleeping on your back rather than on your side.
• Having a small or receding lower jaw (a jaw that is set back further than normal).
• Smoking.
• Family history of Sleep Apnea.
