Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder that causes your breathing to suddenly stop during the night, either due to blockages or misfiring. As the result your body becomes stressed and works more to start breathing again. The chest starts to contract and your body fights for air during this time, because of this you don’t get proper rest nor oxygen to your brain and other vital organs. Over time, many people can have serious complications that can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other major health problems.
