Sleep apnea is a chronic sleep disorder that causes repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions can reduce oxygen flow to vital organs, disrupt sleep cycles, and increase the risk of serious health conditions. At Macie Medical in Katy, TX, we provide accurate diagnosis and advanced sleep apnea treatment designed to help you rest better and live well.
Sleep apnea occurs when breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep. It is often undiagnosed because people may not realize they are waking up frequently or struggling to breathe. However, over time, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, mood disorders, and cognitive decline.
This is the most common form and happens when the throat muscles relax, causing airway blockage. Snoring and gasping are typical symptoms.
This occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. Itās less common and more difficult to detect without testing.
Also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, this type is a combination of OSA and CSA.
If you or your partner notices these signs, itās important to seek an evaluation.
Sleep apnea can have both immediate and long-term effects on your health:
Treating sleep apnea improves not just your sleep, but your overall health and well-being.
