What is Sleep Apnoea? 

Sleep apnoea is a prevalent and serious condition where you’re breathing repeatedly stops and starts as you sleep. This typically occurs when the throat muscles relax excessively, causing a blockage of your airway (Obstructive Sleep Apnoea – OSA).

People with sleep apnoea often snore loudly. They may gasp or choke at night. They can feel very tired during the day, even after a full night’s sleep.

If left untreated, sleep apnoea can increase the risk of serious health problems. These include high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Therefore, treatment for daytime sleep apnoea is very important. The good news is that effective sleep apnoea treatments are available to manage the condition.
