Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) happens when your airway closes repeatedly during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. This can leave you feeling tired, affect your health, and put extra strain on your body over time.
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common condition that affects the way you breathe while you sleep. It happens when the muscles in your throat relax too much, causing your airway to narrow or close. This can lead to repeated pauses in breathing throughout the night.
When this happens, your body briefly wakes you up to restore normal breathing — often without you realising. These interruptions prevent you from reaching the deep, restorative stages of sleep, leaving you feeling tired, unrefreshed, or even exhausted during the day.
Many people with OSA also snore loudly or experience disturbed sleep, which may affect their partner too. Over time, untreated OSA can place extra strain on your heart and overall health, but the good news is that effective treatments are available to help you sleep soundly and feel like yourself again.
You may have OSA if you experience one or more of the following:
Not everyone has all these symptoms, and sometimes OSA can be mistaken for simple snoring. If you recognise yourself or a loved one in the list above, it may be worth seeking professional advice.
If you or your partner are worried about obstructive sleep apnoea, the first step is a specialist assessment. At our clinic, we offer a range of tests designed to give a clear picture of how you breathe while you sleep.
The most common assessment is a sleep study, where your breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns are monitored overnight. This can often be done in the comfort of your own home using a small, easy-to-wear device. For more detailed information, some people may be invited for an in-clinic study, where your sleep is monitored in a dedicated, comfortable environment.
These assessments are painless and non-invasive, but they provide essential insights to help confirm a diagnosis and guide the best treatment plan for you.
The good news is that obstructive sleep apnoea can be managed effectively with the right treatment. The best option for you will depend on the severity of your symptoms, your overall health, and your lifestyle.
