Sleep Apnea Synonyms


Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. It can have serious health consequences if left untreated. While it is commonly known as sleep apnea, there are several other terms used to describe this condition:




  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): This is the most common form of sleep apnea, where the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to breathing difficulties.

  • Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Unlike OSA, CSA occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. It is less common than OSA.

  • Mixed Sleep Apnea: This term is used when a person experiences a combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.

  • Nocturnal Hypoxemia: This refers to low levels of oxygen in the blood during sleep, which can be a consequence of sleep apnea.

  • Sleep-Disordered Breathing: This is a broader term that encompasses various breathing abnormalities during sleep, including sleep apnea.

  • Snoring: While snoring is not synonymous with sleep apnea, it is a common symptom of the condition. Loud, chronic snoring can be an indication of underlying sleep apnea.



It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea, such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and frequent awakenings during the night. If you suspect you or someone you know may have sleep apnea, it is crucial to seek medical evaluation and diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
