Sleep apnea, specifically obstructive sleep apnea, is a common disease today. Any kind of diminished or absence of respiratory movement during sleep is called a sleep-disturbed pattern. This may be categorized as obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Identifying ways of obstructive and central sleep apnea is essential. Obstructive sleep apnea indicates a situation where there is an obstruction of the upper airway tract during sleeping, and this leads to a decrease in respiratory movements. There may or may not be any symptoms of sleep apnea. However, when symptoms occur, it is crucial to consult a doctor. The significant reasons for sleep apnea are obesity, smoking habits, endocrinological issues, PCOS and many others. Treatment includes modifying lifestyles like controlling body weight, having a balanced diet, including leafy vegetables, and avoiding junk food.
