But what exactly is sleep apnea? This pathology is characterized by recurrent interruptions in breathing during sleep. These breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to several minutes and occur due to an obstruction in the upper airway.
One of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea is loud, persistent snoring. These snores are caused by the vibration of the relaxed tissues in the throat, which partially obstructs the flow of air. In addition, those with this condition often experience excessive daytime sleepiness, which can affect their performance in daily activities.
Constant fatigue is also a hallmark symptom of sleep apnea. Repeated sleep interruptions prevent a person from achieving deep, restful rest, resulting in a constant feeling of tiredness and lack of energy.
In addition, memory and concentration problems are common consequences of sleep apnea. Lack of adequate sleep negatively affects cognitive functions, which can manifest as difficulties remembering information and difficulty maintaining attention on daily tasks.
The Apnea Unit, under the direction of Dr. Juan Roldán Sánchez, is dedicated to diagnosing and treating this condition with cutting-edge and personalized methods. Through sleep studies and specific therapies, the medical team seeks to improve the quality of life of patients affected by sleep apnea.
