Types of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea varies by cause and severity. Some patients may stop breathing dozens of times per night. The three primary types are:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common form, caused by relaxed throat muscles blocking airflow.
Central Sleep Apnea: Caused by the brain not sending proper signals to control breathing.
Complex Sleep Apnea: A mix of both OSA and central sleep apnea, requiring specialized care.
