Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. It can manifest as shallow breathing, snoring, gasping, or even complete cessation of breathing. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and can develop gradually or suddenly. Sleep apnea can be caused by a variety of factors, including obesity, smoking, alcohol use, and the use of certain medications. Treatment typically includes lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and the use of a CPAP machine.
