Sleep Apnea
As a locally owned and operated leader in sleep therapy, NuCara Home Medical can offer you the personalized support you need to get a good night's sleep.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apena?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. It causes you to repeatedly stop and start breathing while you sleep.
There are several types of sleep apnea, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea. This type of apnea occurs when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep.
Left untreated, OSA can increase your risk of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more.
Signs and symptoms of OSA include snoring, sleepiness, fatigue, morning headaches and waking up gasping are a few of the most common symptoms.
