Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles that support the soft tissues in your throat, such as your tongue and soft palate, temporarily relax. When these muscles relax, your airway is narrowed or closed, and breathing is momentarily cut off.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, you might have sleep apnea.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apnea: This is when you stop breathing while asleep or have almost no airflow. It combines the Greek roots “a, ” which means “not” and “pnea, ” which refers to breathing. Combined, it means “breathless.”
