Understanding Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Sleep-disordered breathing encompasses a range of conditions that disrupt normal breathing patterns during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and potential health issues. The most common type of sleep-disordered breathing is obstructive sleep apnoea, characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing due to a blockage of the upper airway. This condition can cause fragmented sleep, excessive daytime drowsiness, and an increased risk of cardiovascular problems, among other health concerns.
Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing include loud snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can linger much into your day-to-day activities and even your relationship.
