What causes Sleep Apnea?
I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea…I will be on a oxygen machine startin this week. What causes this condition?
being over weight is the main one. Having an enlarged uvula can cause it, being super exhausted can cause it.
But the main one that health care professionals agree upon is weighing too much. If you are over weight, you need to loose the weight big time.
Some times a bite block that is molded for your jaw to pull your bottom jaw forward some while you sleep can help if it is dealing with your tongue getting in the way of your esophagus and trachea openings.
Hope this helps.
