Usually people do not die when they have sleep apneas. They have a compromised sleep, so then when they wake up they are tense, sleepy, and have problems with blood pressure and risk of heart failures.

What happens in central sleep apnea?
central sleep apnea is caused by the internal brain stem, where the autonomic system doesn't work properly. You can go minutes without breahting. Constructive sleep apnea is where the back of the throat collapses during sleep and you struggle to breath. The pauses in breathing last 10-20 seconds or longer. constructive sleep apnea is no where near as bad as central.
Is sleep apnea a characteristic of narcolepsy?
No.Narcoleptics are not narcoleptics because their sleep was interrupted or otherwise affected by sleep apnea. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally.Some narcoleptics might have sleep apnea, but there is no cause-and-effect relationship.
Why might one get an apnea surgery?
Sleep Apnea is not usually treated by surgery because there are other better methods of treatment. Surgery is only indicated if all these alternatives have failed or are not available. Surgery, as a last resort, should help the patient get deep satisfying and safe sleep.
What can sleep apena cause?
With Sleep Apnea, you will experience breathing pauses that can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur more than five times an hour to 100 times per hour. The most common type of sleep apnea is Obstructive Sleep Apnea which is caused by a blockage of the airway, when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep. Central Sleep Apnea, is a less common form of apnea which causes an individual to stop breathing during sleep for a period of 10 seconds or more before restarting again. This happens when the brain fails to send signals to the diaphragm to breathe. One may be unaware of apnea events since they happen while you are asleep. When breathing pauses, we partially wake up from sleep due to which sleep is interrupted, and we may often feel tired and irritable the next day. According to NIH's National centre on Sleep Disorders Research, sleep apnea may lead to poor sleep quality resulting in serious health issues like increased risk for high blood pressure, heart attacks, heart failure, stroke, obesity, and diabetes. Common Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea include: Lifestyle Changes Medication Positive Airway Pressure (PAP DEVICES) Dental appliance therapy Surgery
Sleep Apnea Masks Offer Better Quality Sleep?
Sleep Apnea is a common sleeping disorder that affects millions of people. Because it occurs during sleep, many people are unaware of the disorder. The condition can range from mild to very serious and is a chronic health problem for its sufferers. Sleep Apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing and sometimes shallow breath during sleep. A person with the disorder often has problems with snoring as well. The pauses can last from a few seconds to a full minute and occur between 5 to 30 times in an hour. During the night a person with Sleep Apnea can frequently move out of the deep sleep stage and into a light sleep. This leads to poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue and drowsiness. There are two major types of Sleep Apnea. The most common is due to a blockage in the airway. A less common type is known as Central Sleep Apnea. This is caused by a malfunction of the brain which results in the wrong signals sent from the part of the brain that controls breathing. This type is less likely to include snoring as a symptom. One way to treat this disorder if with Sleep Apnea masks. These masks usually work in one of three ways to allow the sleeper to breath normally. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or CPAP masks are the most commonly used. The device uses a small air blower and hose attached to the mask to provide a steady stream of airflow that keeps the airway from collapsing. Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure masks work in the same way but also sense how much air the wearer needs. It can fluctuate its air flow instead of maintaining one constant level of pressure. The last major types are known as responsive or smart airway pressure devices. These attempt to keep the air pressure as low as possible, but increase it dramatically when sensors detect a breathing problem. Consult your physician if you think you may suffer from some form of Sleep Apnea. The disorder is difficult to diagnose, but easy to treat with Sleep Apnea masks.
What surgery is used to treat sleep disorders?
.making a surgical opening into the windpipe (a tracheostomy) for sleep apnea or hypopnea in adults is a treatment of last resort. surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids is a fairly common and successful treatment.
What is moderate obstructive sleep apnea?
A. It is when your oxygen level drops down below normal levels while you are asleep. My husband was diagnosed 5 years ago with severe sleep apnea and had his tonsils, adenoids, and some of his soft pallet removed. For him he would stop breathing for up to forty seconds while he was asleep which would cause his oxygen level to drop in the 60's. This is a serious disorder that can lead to death if not treated properly. B. There are two types of sleep apnea that require diagnosis by a physician...usually a team of physicians at a sleep study clinic/center: 1. central sleep apnea (CSA) which involves the breathing center in the brain (central nervous system) and is the least common form and 2. obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which involves an obstruction to normal breathing during sleep and is the most common form of the condition. OSA is described in "A" above. Sleep Apnea is an obstruction to your airways when you sleep. As a result, you may stop breathing when you are asleep, which, as stated above, is a frightening thought considering that death can actually result from it. Sleep Apnea is also associated with other diseases, such as hypertension, cardiac failure, obesity, depression, COPD, just to name a few. Having a sleep study prescribed to you by your doctor is the first step in dealing with this disorder. Answer also: Apnea literally means "no breath." An episode of sleep apnea may last anywhere from ten seconds to two or three minutes. The victim often thrashes around gasping for air and then falls asleep again, only to repeat the apnea hundreds of times per night. There are three types of apnea. Central apnea occurs when the brain's respiratory control center doesn't give the command to breathe regularly. With obstructive sleep apnea, the upper airway at the back of the throat actually closes, blocking air movement. Mixed apnea is a combination of the two and is the most common diagnosis. The victim of any type of apnea can end up in virtually the same condition as someone who stayed up all night, every night! Those with sleep apnea may live dangerous lives, for they can blank out while on the job or at the wheel of their automobile. They may suffer from high blood pressure, an enlarged heart, and an increased risk of stroke or heart failure. Dr. William Dement of Stanford University estimates that 38,000 Americans die each year from the cardiovascular consequences of sleep apnea. While most common in obese men over 40 years old, sleep apnea can occur at any age, even in young children. There are several treatments-all best supervised by a medical sleep specialist. The most effective nonsurgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is the use of a device to create continuous positive airway pressure. The patient wears a mask over his nose at night, and a pressure regulator (custom-set by a physician) delivers just the amount of air needed to prevent apnea. If this does not rectify the condition, there are several surgical approaches, including using laser or radio-frequency waves to remove excess tissue from the throat.

How can one treat severe sleep apnea?
The most common solution to Sleep Apnea is CPAP therapy. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This is a machine that produces pressurized air into a hose that is connected to a nasal mask, full face mask, or nasal pillows. A person will wear this mask while they sleep to open up the airway so they will breathe normally through the night. When using Cpap a person with Sleep Apnea can lead a normal, fulfilling life full of energy and without fatigue.
What does 'sleep apnoea full face mask' mean?
A sleep apnea full face mask is a type of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) mask that covers both the nose and mouth to deliver pressurized air to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It is typically used when a person breathes through their mouth during sleep or experiences difficulty breathing through the nose with other types of masks.
What the name of the sleep disorder where you can't sleep and die?
it's called sleep deprivation. sleep deprivation that last four day's or more may lead to death. sleep is needed to eliminate waste products from muscles, repair cells, conserve or replenish energy stores, strengthen the immune system, or recover abilites lost during the day. you also have sleep disorder's like sleep apnea and narcolespsy.
Can the hallucinations you have when you wake up in the middle of the night have to do with a blood sugar problem?
How much sleep does a person with severe sleep apnea actually get? I did the math based on the news article, which said the man had an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 90. This means that every 45 seconds, on average, he was having an apnea. We must estimate that he was getting at least 20 to 30 seconds of sleep during that 45 seconds (by definition the apnea has to last at least 10 seconds), and then he was awake for the remainder. In my experience, most people with an AHI of 90 will be asleep for 30 seconds and then awake for 15 seconds. Even if we give the benefit of the doubt, and say that he was asleep for one-half of the 45 seconds of the process, he would still be getting sleep for one-half of the night-no way could it add up to only 15 seconds. Probably, he was getting about 4 hours total, but spread out over the whole night. Not good.
