Sleep Apnoea Research Paper

Sleep apnoea is a disruptive disorder affecting a patient’s airway during sleep. Common causes of sleep apnoea can include an overweight patient, aging, large tonsils or the shape/size of facial bones and muscles.
Sleep apnoea occurs when there is a tightening of the throat causing a momentary loss of breathing. Some obvious symptoms include snoring, poor sleep, poor concentration and fatigue. This can lead to other serious health risks such as high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, anxiety and depression.
A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine can be beneficial in the treatment of sleep apnoea.
