Sleep apnea can develop due to a very wide variety of reasons, and it can also be categorized into a couple of different types. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea. It refers to when the airway is either too narrow, blocked, or otherwise restricted to some degree. Central sleep apnea, or CSA, is often linked to neurological problems that cause the body to have trouble breathing properly. However, no matter which type of sleep apnea is being dealt with, certain factors like weight, lifestyle, and family history can all play a contributing role in the condition.
