Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a disorder in which the airway becomes repeatedly blocked during rest, causing pauses in breathing while asleep. These interruptions fragment sleep even though the person does not always notice them.
Frequent symptoms:
- Loud snoring and breathing pauses observed by others
- Drowsiness and tiredness during the day
- Unrefreshing sleep and headache on waking
Common causes: It is frequently associated with excess weight, with alterations in the airways, and with other factors that narrow the throat during sleep.
Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist is central to its study, with support from the internist, the cardiologist, and obesity specialists when there are associated factors; in children the pediatric pulmonologist takes part. If your rest is not refreshing or there is snoring with pauses, it is worth discussing it with a professional.
