There correlation have been studies of sleep apnea and asthma. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing as a person sleeps. The pauses are called apneas, and can last for a period of time that normal breathing is interrupted, causing the person to skip one or more breaths. Doctors have categorized apneas to have caused a pause of 10 seconds between breaths, and this should cause a neurological arousal or a desaturation of oxygen in the blood of 3 or 4 percent or more. Both neurological arousal and desaturation of oxygen in the blood can also occur simultaneously time.
There are three types of sleep apnea: Obstructive, central and complex. It ‘been estimated that 84% of obstructive sleep apnea is, 0.4% central and 15% complex. Obstructive pulmonary disease, which is the most common, is caused by a physical block to airflow despite the efforts of the body to breathe. Central sleep apnea has something to do with the brain signals the body to breathe, and the miscommunication interrupts the breathing. Complex sleep apnea is actually a combination of both obstructive and central, which means that the two types of transition to a sleep apnea another.
The problem with sleep apnea, however, is the person’s inability to recognize that he or she has, even if the person wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night. Usually, sleep apneas are identified by other people who witnesses the person’s sleep habits. Some people who suffer from sleep apnea might go on without knowing they have it for years or even decades. Although rarely fatal, sleep apnea causes anxiety, fatigue and drowsiness during the morning.
