sleep apnea occurs when u regularly stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer during sleep, and the episodes can occur 5 – 50 times an hour.
sleep apneia may be caused by a blockage or narrowing of the airways in your nose or mouth, usually when the throat muscles and tongue relax during sleep and block the airway. it can also occur when you have bone deformities or larger than normal tissues in your nose, mouth or throat. large tonsils, for example. obesity also may cause sleep apneia.
