What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder where the airway repeatedly gets blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing or shallow breathing.
These pauses can last a few seconds to over a minute and may happen many times during the night.

Symptoms of OSA

  • Loud, chronic snoring
  • Pauses in breathing (often noticed by a partner)
  • Gasping or choking during sleep
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Morning headaches
  • Difficulty concentrating, poor memory
  • Irritability or mood changes
  • Dry mouth or sore throat after waking

Treatment Options for OSA

Lifestyle Changes

  • Weight loss
  • Sleeping on the side
  • Avoiding alcohol/smoking

Medical Devices

  • CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): A mask that keeps airway open with air pressure.
  • Oral Appliances: Custom-made dental devices that reposition the jaw/tongue to keep the airway open.

Surgery (for severe cases)

  • Removal of excess tissue in throat
  • Jaw repositioning (orthognathic surgery)
  • Implants to support airway structures
