Useful information.

Sleep apnes is when you stop breathing while sleeping. It can be very dangerous since your body is not getting the oxygen that it requires. Have you spoken to your doctor? They might want to do a sleep study. It is an over night study done in a hospital. You are wired up and they monitor you during the night. You can find more info about this on a web site just by typing in Sleep Apnes.

Sleep apnea is where you stop breathing for a short period of time. It happens in all age groups. usually a sleep study is done by your Dr to determine if you have this very serious condition.
The treatment is simple, a breathing apperatus you wear at night to assure constant oxygen flow.

this is a condition where your oxygen level drops while you sleep. this can be a very serious condition . oxygen levels should never go below 95to 90 .
80 is ok but this level may require the use of oxygen.
if your oxygen level drops to far while you sleep you will quit breathing.
there are two types of sleep apnea
1 Obstructive sleep apnea -(obstructive sleep apnea) is cause by the closing of the upper airway while asleep. The uvula and soft pallet collapses on the back wall of the upper airway. Then the tongue falls backward, collapsing on the back wall of the upper airway, the uvula and soft pallet forming a tight blockage, preventing any air from entering the lungs. The effort of the diaphragm, the chest and the abdomen only cause the blockage to seal tighter. In order to breathe the person must arouse or awaken, causing tension in the tongue thereby opening the airway, allowing air to pass into the lungs.

2 Central sleep apnea. The airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe due to instability in the respiratory control center. This type is called central apnea because it is related to the function of the central nervous system. Central sleep apnea is usually observed in people with central nervous system dysfunction, such as following a stroke or in those with neuromuscular diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is also common in people with heart failure and other forms of heart and lung disease.
