patients may experience 30 to 300 such events per night. Factors that increase the risk of OSA include: shape of the palate or airway; large tonsils and adenoids in children, weight.

Untreated obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk of developing heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and many other medical problems. Continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP)
is a common treatment.Browse by city:
