Periodic breathing - what does this mean
Periodic breathing is a type of breathing disorder that is characterized by regular pauses in breathing during sleep. these pauses can last from seconds to minutes and can be followed by rapid, shallow breaths. it is usually caused by an imbalance in the body's carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, which can be caused by an underlying medical condition or lifestyle factors such as smoking or alcohol consumption.
What happens during the disease - periodic breathing
Periodic breathing is a respiratory disorder characterized by alternating periods of shallow breathing and apnea (cessation of breathing). it is thought to be caused by an imbalance between the central nervous system’s control of breathing and the body’s need for oxygen. this imbalance can be caused by a variety of factors, including sleep disorders, obesity, heart or lung disease, and medication side effects. in some cases, periodic breathing can be a sign of more serious underlying medical conditions.
