Sleep Apnea Quiz
Snoring affects an overwhelming percentage of adults. Snoring is caused when muscles relax during sleep to
the extent that the airway and flow of air becomes obstructed. Snoring disrupts restful sleep and can lead to another serious problem: Sleep Apnea.
Sleep Apnea is heavy snoring followed by gasping and a period of not breathing. It can contribute to a heightened
risk of heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure.
