Causes of sleep apnea.

and prevention methods

Sleep apnea often accompanied by loud snoring

The German Lung Foundation reports that sleep apnea is a respiratory disorder that occurs during sleep due to narrowing of the respiratory tracts, and is often accompanied by a loud snoring sound.

The foundation added that the risk factors for sleep apnea are advanced age, obesity, smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking sedatives and sedatives.

Sleep apnea causes the patient to wake up frequently, which deprives him of a good and comfortable sleep, and makes him feel tired and exhausted, poor concentration, and inability to exert effort the next day.

In the long term, sleep apnea increases the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Sleep apnea is treated with what are known as "CPAP" respirators, or a mandibular splint during sleep.

In some cases, surgery may be required.

The Foundation indicated that sleep apnea can be prevented by exercising physical activities and reducing periods of sitting, according to the results of a recent American study.
