Technically, sleep apnea occurs when a person basically stops breathing occurring at about 30 seconds to more than a minute during sleep. This can be a major health risk since the body needs sufficient oxygen levels. Sadly, majority of people who have sleep apnea do not even know that they have it. There are a few varieties of sleep apnea. However, the most common of the sleep apneas and generally the easiest to treat is the obstructive type. Obstructive sleep apnea is basically caused by a blockage in the airway by an anatomical structure which causes an interruption in the flow of air. Several establishments such as sleep apnea Toronto specialize in treating this problem ranging from invasive and non-invasive procedures.
