Question

What are the types of sleep apnea?

Answer 1

There are two types :

• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common. It results from a blocked airway, usually when the soft tissue in the back of your throat collapses during sleep.
• Central sleep apnea happens when your brain doesn't tell your muscles to breathe. This results from a problem in the part of your brain that controls breathing.
