What is position dependent sleep apnea?
Positional sleep apnea
In classic sleep apnea, the airways are repeatedly blocked during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing. Positional sleep apnea is a special form of this condition. In this case, the airways are primarily blocked when lying on the back.
Sleep apnea impairs sleep quality and can significantly impact performance and overall health. If you have sleep apnea and apnea episodes occur twice as often when sleeping on your back than on your side, your sleep apnea is likely position-dependent. Sleeping on your side can significantly reduce your symptoms.
Ask your doctor if you have been diagnosed with position-dependent OSA.
When you sleep on your back, your airways are blocked, which can lead to interrupted breathing.
When you sleep on your side, your airways are clear, making breathing easier.
