Overview

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a sleep disorder that is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. The airway collapses or becomes blocked, reducing or completely cutting off airflow, leading to sudden awakenings throughout the night. Symptoms of OSAS can include loud snoring, difficulty staying asleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, and irritability. OSAS can lead to a variety of health issues, including an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and even death. Treatment for OSAS includes lifestyle changes, weight management, and, in more severe cases, the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine or dental appliance. Early diagnosis and treatment of OSAS can improve quality of life and reduce the risk of future medical complications.
