Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition characterized by repeated episodes of blocked airflow during sleep. These interruptions occur when the tongue and soft tissues collapse against the back of the throat, obstructing the upper airway. The resulting drop in blood oxygen levels causes the brain to partially wake the individual, restoring airflow often with a gasp or choking sound. This cycle can occur hundreds of times a night, leading to poor sleep quality and significant health consequences. Patients with untreated OSA commonly suffer from excessive daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and increased risks of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues.
