Obstructive sleep apnea affects around 20 million Americans.
During sleep apnea, passageways in the throat temporarily close and prevent oxygen from reaching the lungs. To correct this problem, the brain wakes you from sleep so the body can open the passageway. This is a dangerous condition that can lead to hypertension, heart attack, stroke, depression, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
With the body and brain constantly waking up throughout the night, the body can't get the deep, restful sleep it needs to perform correctly.
