Sleep apnea is a common disorder that can affect children and adults. Sleep apnea can lead to an increased risk of hypertension or other heart diseases. Loud snoring and daytime tiredness, even with a whole night’s sleep are signs of sleep apnea. If left untreated, it can result in stroke, high blood pressure, daytime fatigue, heart attack or heart failure, and diabetes.

Types of sleep apnea

Sleep apnea is of two types

Obstructive sleep apnea:This is due to complete or partial upper airway blockage.
Central sleep apnea: In this, the airway is not blocked, but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe due to instability in the respiratory control center.
