What is Sleep Apnea?
50 million people have sleep disorders. One is snoring, which is disruptive and fatiguing. Sleep Apnea which has the potential to be life-threatening, is an extreme case of snoring. Obstructions in throats and noses are what cause snoring and in Sleep Apnea, that obstruction is total. The blockage can be caused by enlarged tonsils or lymph nodes, polyps or large adenoids and sometimes, simply by the postion of the tongue and or jaw when asleep.
