What is sleep apnea?

Much more than snoring, sleep apnea is a serious condition in which a patient's breathing is paused or interrupted throughout a night's sleep. A condition affecting more than 18 million Americans, apnea can result in the following health conditions:

• Daytime fatigue
• Decreased motor skills
• Increased blood pressure
• Cardiovascular problems
• Anxiety/depression
