What is obstructive sleep apnea?

Healthy PIG
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or sleep apnea is a disease that causes breathing disorders involuntarily for a short time during sleep. Normally, air flows smoothly from the mouth and nose into the lungs. The period when breathing stops is called apnea or asphyxia. In OSA, normal airflow is repeatedly stopped throughout the night. The air stops flowing because the airway space in the throat area is too narrow. Snoring is a characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea.
