As the name implies, mixed sleep apnea is a combination of the two types of sleep apnea obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). All three types of sleep apnea causes sleep deprivation and shortage of oxygen.
obstructive sleep apnea occurs because of a disability in the air, while a single transit is asleep, disability can be caused when a fabricthe upper throat collapse and causes air to be blocked and breathing is temporarily stopped. Finally, the lack of oxygen causes the rising air in the lungs. In most cases this is done quickly and the individual is not aware of a problem occurs. However, a trail wheezing or snorting sound occur, but can not up the individual is usually full.
There are some factors that people at risk of OSA did. These factors include: obesity, neck circumference (more than17 inches for men, more than 15 cm in women), high blood pressure, the airways narrow, chronic nasal congestion, diabetes, being male, with African American, Hispanic, Iceland Heritage Pacific Family History elderly apnea sleep, the use of alcohol, sedatives or tranquilizers, and smoking.
Central Sleep's Disease is a neurological disorder, in contrast to obstructive sleep apnea, the disorder is a physicist. With the CSA, the brain sends mixed signalscause respiratory tract to stop breathing. The CSA is suffering individual breath, the breath to set in motion.
There are some factors that the disease can put people to sleep with a risk for the development of fundamental importance. These factors include: are men, the diagnosis of congestive heart failure or atrial fibrillation, stroke or brain tumor, living at high altitude, and the use of some drugs, the effect on respiration. In fact, there are five typesCAS. sleeping sickness central idiopathic Cheyne-Stokes respiration and apnea-induced health conditions, high altitude periodic breathing, and drug or substance-induced apnea.
The symptoms for all three types of sleeping sickness are the same: intense puffing sounds accompanied by wheezing and snoring, sudden awakening with shortness of breath, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and problems with concentration and memory.
All three types of sleepThe diseases are dangerous, and an individual experience any of the systems mentioned above should seek medication. Undiagnosed or untreated, can lead to the following diseases: cardiovascular problems, daytime sleepiness and complications with medication and surgery.
All three types of sleeping sickness can be diagnosed by a test called polysomnography sleep study (PSG), the sleep clinic is run by a sleep specialist. PSGmonitors brain waves, eye movements, muscle activity and heart rate of the patient. A patient is sleeping sickness, when the test set PSG five or more episodes of apnea (pauses in breathing) per hour. A few other tests are also in the diagnosis of sleeping sickness. Oximetry screening can be useful also performed. This is a screening process monitors and records individual blood oxygen levels during sleep. Cardiorespiratory laptopTest is also an option. This is evidence that sleep disturbance is carried out at home on the diagnosis.
