Health conditions such as asthma, enlarged tonsils and chronic nasal congestion are also probable causes of sleep apnea.

Risks
There can be many serious health conditions caused by sleep apnea, and if untreated in time, can be life threatening.

Home Sleep Study
Home sleep study is usually a test performed at night through a device, while the person getting the test done is asleep. The test is non invasive and can determine the level and depth of sleep undergone by the person, as well as the number of apneas that have occurred in the course of night.
CPAP Therapy
CPAP is used for those with breathing problems such as Sleep Apnea. CPAP is a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open and helps in preventing Sleep Apnea symptoms. Many users who use CPAP, claim to feel better once they begin treatment. They also report fewer complaints about snoring or sleep disorders.
