The inability to breathe temporarily is called apnea. Periods of apnea during sleep, particularly those causing intermittent, frequently subconscious awakenings, is called Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea comes in various forms. The most common being Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This is caused by an obstruction of the hypopharynx and glottis during sleep - usually the soft tissues of the mouth, soft palate, and throat relax during sleep and occlude the airway. Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is rarer and caused by neurologic, toxicologic, and metabolic disorders.
Long pauses of breathing, breathing by mouth , night sweats and specially snoring during sleep are signs of sleep apnea. But those jerking movements are not caused by sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is not generally considered an infection. Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person temporarily stops breathing while they sleep. It can be a temporary problem caused by a cold or similar sort term illness or may be a chronic problem that causes a person to no longer be able to control their airway while they sleep. One major contributing factor of chronic sleep apnea is obesity.
Obstructive sleep apnea cause when soft tissues relax and collapse block breathing and thus preventing inhaled air from reaching the lungs Next Central sleep apnea cause when brain doesn't send signals through lungs however when breathing passage is open it would not reach air sacs called alveoli thus leading to falling asleep
In patients with Marfan, obstructive sleep apnea is caused by the unusual flexibility of the tissues lining the patient's airway. This disturbed breathing pattern increases the risk of aortic dissection.

A scalloped tongue can be caused by a B12 deficiency, or by TMJ or thyroid disorder. According to The Association of Tongue Scalloping With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Related Sleep Pathology, scalloping is 70% indicative of sleep apnea.
central sleep apnea is caused by the internal brain stem, where the autonomic system doesn't work properly. You can go minutes without breahting. Constructive sleep apnea is where the back of the throat collapses during sleep and you struggle to breath. The pauses in breathing last 10-20 seconds or longer. constructive sleep apnea is no where near as bad as central.
