Obstructive Sleep Apnea exists when your upper airway tissues in your throat drop down and restrict or stop you from breathing for long periods of time when you sleep. An individual suffering from obstructive sleep apnea can experience hundreds -- even thousands -- of episodes in the course of one night. The body usually doesn't awaken, and people don't often remember not breathing, even though it happened lots of times. The body doesn't receive valuable oxygen; it is basically being suffocated during sleep, night after night.

Due to the continuous nighttime breathing interruptions, patients will generally start to experience several symptoms which are directly caused by sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea symptoms include:
• Snoring
• Headaches
• Acid reflux
• Excessive daytime tiredness
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Heart attack
• Stroke
