Sleep apnea is a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, reducing oxygen supply and disturbing rest. It may cause loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and serious health risks like hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. Physiotherapy supports management through breathing exercises, weight control, posture correction, and lifestyle changes, often complementing CPAP or medical treatment. Effective rehab improves sleep quality, energy, and long-term health.
Causes of Sleep Apnea:
- Obstructive sleep apnea (airway blockage by soft tissues)
- Central sleep apnea (brain’s signal disruption)
- Obesity and poor airway muscle tone
- Anatomical factors (small jaw, large tonsils)
- Smoking, alcohol, or sedative use
- Neurological or cardiovascular disorders
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea:
- Loud snoring with pauses or choking
- Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
- Morning headaches
- Poor concentration and memory
- Mood changes or irritability
- High blood pressure or heart strain
