Mixed Sleep Apnea Symptoms

By: Ashley McAdams | 2010-03-27 | Sleep
Most sufferers of sleep apnea experience either obstructive sleep apnea, which is a physical blockage of the airway by tissue in the throat, or central sleep apnea, which is the failure of the brain to control even breathing, resulting in cycles of apneas and hyperpneas. When a patient suffers from both central and obstructive sleep apnea and exhibits symptoms of both, the patient is said to suffer from mixed sleep apnea. Mixed sleep apnea is a tricky form of sleep apnea that is quite difficult to amend with established forms of treatment. read more

Central Sleep Apnea Information

By: Ashley McAdams | 2010-03-27 | Sleep
There are three different types of sleep apnea: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) which is the most common, Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), and Mixed Sleep Apnea. With Central Sleep Apnea the individual's breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep because of a lack of respiratory effort. When this lack of respiratory effort occurs the brain fails to transmit the proper signal to the breathing muscles. read more

Mixed Sleep Apnea

As the name implies, Mixed Sleep Apnea is the combination of the two types of sleep apnea Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Central Sleep Apnea (CSA). All three types of sleep apnea cause sleep deprivation and oxygen deprivation. Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs because of an obstruction in the air passage while an individual is sleeping, this obstruction can be caused when a tissue in the upper throat collapse and causes air to become blocked and breath is temporarily stopped. read more

Idiopathic central sleep apnea syndrome (ICSAS) is completely different than obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which is the more common sleep apnea condition that most of us have heard of before in the past. Idiopathic central sleep apnea is still not as fully understood as obstructive sleep apnea, but through research it is understood that there are abrupt increases in breathing in which there becomes an arterial CO2 reduction. Sort of like hyperventilation. read more

Complex Sleep Apnea

By: Ashley McAdams | 2010-03-27 | Sleep
Sleep apnea can be caused by physical blockage of the airway, which is obstructive sleep apnea, or it can be caused by the brain's inability to properly control normal breathing, which is known as central sleep apnea. Both obstructive and central sleep apneas can occur for many different reasons, but when the causes for both obstructive and central sleep disease are experienced at the same time in a patient, it is called complex (mixed) sleep disease. Complex sleep disease is often a wide range of problems, often stemming from a previous, untreated apnea condition. read more

The three types of sleep apnea are obstructive, mixed and central, and of these types, the most common is OSA or obstructive sleep apnea. read more
