What Is Sleep Apnoea?
Sleep apnoea occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax too much during sleep, causing airway blockage. This leads to interrupted breathing, loud snoring, gasping for air, and poor sleep quality. Untreated sleep apnoea can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and daytime fatigue.
