The pauses of the breathing could happen any time during sleep and it could last from a few seconds to a few minutes. An individual with sleep apnea may produce sounds like snorting or choking and loud snores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and complex sleep apnea syndrome. The <strong>obstructive sleep apnea<\/strong> happens when the muscles in the throat relax causing the airway to be blocked during sleep. It is also the most common type of sleep apnea. <strong>Central sleep apnea<\/strong> happens when the brain is unable to send breathing control signals to the respiratory control center. <strong>Complex sleep apnea syndrome<\/strong> is the combination of the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms-of-Sleep-Apnea\"><\/span>Symptoms of Sleep Apnea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common signs and symptoms of sleep apnea include reduced breathing while sleeping, breathing can also stop for a few seconds or a few minutes. Once breathing continues, a choking sound may be heard. A person with sleep apnea also frequently snores loudly during sleep. Some may experience shortness of breath, which may cause the individual to gasp for air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with sleep apnea experience fatigue even after sleeping the night before. A decrease in concentration, motor skills, and attention can be noticed. There is also difficulty in sleeping and noticeable irritability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complications-of-Untreated-Sleep-Apnea\"><\/span>Complications of Untreated Sleep Apnea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sleep apnea is a serious condition. If left untreated, there are a lot of complications one can experience.<\/li><li>Sleep apnea disrupts the flow of oxygen in the body which results in an increase in blood pressure. The risk of hypertension is increased, as well as other heart problems like heart attack, stroke, and irregular heartbeat or atrial fibrillation.<\/li><li>Sleep apnea also increases the risk of an individual to get type 2 diabetes and developing resistance of insulin in the body.<\/li><li>Liver problems and chronic kidney disease are common in people with sleep apnea. Livers show signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease resulting in a poor functioning liver.<\/li><li>Metabolism is negatively affected by sleep apnea.<\/li><li>Individuals with sleep apnea have a higher risk of getting renal, skin, and pancreatic cancer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-Pranayama\"><\/span>What is Pranayama?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pranayama is a yogic technique that allows the control of breathing. It is from the Sanskrit words \u201cPrana\u201d which means \u201cbreath\u201d or \u201clife force\u201d and \u201cAyama\u201d which means \u201cto control\u201d.
