What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, causing breathing to repeatedly stop and start. These interruptions can lead to disrupted sleep, loud snoring, and excessive daytime fatigue. If left untreated, OSA can contribute to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Early diagnosis and treatment are important steps toward improving sleep quality and overall health.
