What is Sleep Disordered Breathing?

Sleep-disordered breathing can be a chronic condition that’s characterized by continuous, often dangerous disruptions to your breathing while sleeping. When this happens over and over all night long, it’s almost impossible to get a good night’s rest. Your body’s oxygen supply is affected and could lead to more serious health concerns. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing that affects roughly 12 million Americans, according to the National Institute of Health.

What Are the Symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing?

What Are the Symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing?

Sleep-disordered breathing is a broader term that includes various breathing abnormalities during sleep, including sleep apnea. Treatment depends on the specific condition. While it often overlaps with sleep apnea treatment, it can also involve managing other factors like:

  • Snoring: Some cases of SDB involve snoring without apnea, which is treated by oral devices or positional therapy.
  • Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS): A condition where breathing effort is increased without full apnea events, potentially managed with CPAP, oral appliances, or surgery.
  • Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing: In children, treatments might involve addressing enlarged tonsils or adenoids, or orthodontic interventions.

Symptoms can also include:

  • A chronic tired or fatigued feeling
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Short-term memory loss
  • Mood swings
  • Weight issues
  • Lack of sleep
  • High blood pressure
  • Dry mouth or throat
  • Headaches
