Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) occurs when the brain’s area that controls your breathing does not send proper signals and does not function properly during sleep. This condition is different from obstructive sleep apnea, in which breathing stops because the throat muscles relax and block the airway. Central sleep apnea is less common than obstructive sleep apnea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The pauses in breathing can last up to 20 seconds and occur mainly because your brain does not send proper signals to the muscles that control your breathing (your diaphragm and intercostal muscles). With CSA, you do not try to breathe at all, or your breathing is so shallow that the gas exchange in your\u00a0lungs\u00a0is insufficient.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
