The main cause of sleep apnoea is an obstruction in the airway, usually due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids, a deviated septum in the nose, or excess fat and tissue around the neck, which can block airflow. These can result in shallow breathing during sleep, leading to episodes of not breathing for short periods. If you have apnoea concerns, schedule an appointment with us.
