During sleep, when throat and tongue muscles are more relaxed, this soft tissue can cause the airway to become blocked.
What causes upper airway restriction?Causes. The airway can become narrowed or blocked due to many causes, including: Allergic reactions in which the trachea or throat swell closed, including allergic reactions to a bee sting, peanuts and tree nuts, antibiotics (such as penicillin), and blood pressure medicines (such as ACE inhibitors)
What breathing disorders are caused by sleep apnea?Sleep-related breathing disorders or sleep-disordered breathing are characterized by abnormal respiration during sleep. They are grouped into obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea, sleep-related hypoventilation, and sleep-related hypoxemia disorder.
What is the most common site of upper airway collapse in OSA?Although the velopharynx was the most common site of obstruction (in 89% of patients), most patients (72%) had multiple sites of obstruction.
