Sleep apnoea is a problem with your breathing while you sleep. It occurs when the walls of the throat collapse during sleep, obstructing the airways and causing breathing interruptions for between a few seconds and up to 1 minute. This condition affects about 25% of men over 30 years old. In the over-30 age group, the disorder is about 3 times more common in men than women.
Your community pharmacy offers screening kits and treatment options like weight management programs to help address sleep apnoea. The most effective treatment is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), using a mask that maintains airway pressure during sleep.
