Types of Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea. It is caused by a breathing obstruction which stops the air flow in the nose and mouth.

Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is a central nervous system disorder that occurs when the brain signal which tells the body to breathe is delayed. This can be caused by a disease or injury to the brain or a respiratory disorder.
