Understand: What causes sleep apnea (OSA)?

While we sleep, The muscles around the neck, soft palate, and base of the tongue relax and sag. For people with OSA, these tissues sag and block the upper airway. When the body tries to breathe air through the narrow openings, it causes a vibration and snoring.

In severe cases, the airway may be completely blocked, so the body is deprived of oxygen for a while. The brain must instruct the body to wake up and breathe heavily or move to adjust the position of the tongue. This cycle causes the patient to not sleep well. Accumulated fatigue and increases the risk of serious diseases in the long term.
