I have sleep apnea and I am taking seraquil. Does this cause me to have shallow breathing?
No, the lack of air flow makes it relatively impossible to get deep sleep. You should have a sleep study done to find out if your sleep apnea is obstructive.
There are quite a few things that can cause seizures, but sleep apnea is not a direct cause. Sleep Apnea, however, can cause certain other conditions, so if you suffer from this you should take care of it.
Central Sleep Apnea is a disorder in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during your sleep. Central Sleep Apnea is less common than Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Your doctor should refer you for a sleep study, where they will test the depth and quality of your sleep.
Sleep apnea is not caused by herpes.
Yes. Sleep apnea can occur at any age
You can be tested for sleep apnea. Therefore, it can be recognized and even treated.
Sleep apnea could be dangerous. Some people with sleep apnea sleep with an oxygen mask on to avoid risks. What you are describing is not sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is about abnormal rhythm in breathing while asleep. Falling asleep while talking to people is another case.
There are two primary types of sleep apnea, central and obstructive. The more common of the two, obstructive sleep apnea, associated with obesity, occurs during REM sleep.
Sleep apnea is potentially deadly because you can die if you stop breathing in your sleep. Sleep apnea is not contagious, since it is physiological, not a viral or bacterial disease.
