If your breathing stops and starts during sleep, it could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Deepa Jayashankar explains that snoring is a common symptom of this condition. “Obstructive” refers to a blockage in the airway, “sleep” indicates it happens during sleep, and “apnea” means a temporary pause in breathing. Understanding these signs is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment, helping improve sleep quality, overall health, and reduce risks associated with untreated sleep apnea.
