3. What are the causes of sleep apnea?
The causes of sleep apnea may include: (1) muscular changes in the airway muscle leading to blockage, (2) excessive fat deposition and tissue growth in the airway tissues and (3) faulty breathing control/regulation by the brain.
4. What are the characteristic symptoms of sleep apnea?
The characteristic symptoms of sleep apnea are loud snoring, repeated interruptions in breathing while sleeping, dry mouth, headache in morning, air gasping during sleep, loss of concentration in daytime, irritability, etc.
