Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
It is a chronic, lifelong medical condition that can affect your sleep, health and quality of life. It has been linked to hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, work and driving-related accidents and even strokes.
OSA can significantly impact the quality of life, placing unnecessary strain on relationships between partners, family, and the workplace.
