What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is one of the most important diseases caused by snoring and can be expressed as cessation of breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea, which means breathing stops and becomes shallow during sleep, can recur many times throughout the night. During sleep apnea, the muscles that keep the upper airway open relax. Not being able to breathe for at least 10 seconds as a result of the root of the tongue or soft palate or overgrown tonsils blocking the airway is called sleep apnea.

Although respiratory effort continues during sleep apnea, this effort, which increases after a while, stimulates the brain and the airway is opened. The person who snores until his breathing stops continues to breathe and snore again with a loud grunt.

It is known that when necessary precautions are not taken, sleep apnea leads to carelessness, increasing the risk of traffic accidents 7-8 times and causing work accidents.
