Sleep apnea is more than snoring<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) makes your breathing stop and start again and again while you sleep. It is common and often goes undiagnosed. It can affect your energy, your mood and your long-term heart health. We can help you get assessed, and if you live with obesity, we can add weight management to your care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNDERSTAND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens during OSA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With OSA, the upper airway repeatedly narrows or becomes blocked during sleep, interrupting breathing. Each pause can lower the oxygen in your blood and briefly wake your brain, often without you noticing. Weight is one factor that can contribute, but not the only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
