Disorders
Understanding sleep apnoea in the context of other conditions is key to effective treatment.
Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea is a common but serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often without the person realising.
COPD-OSA Overlap Syndrome
When chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnoea occur together, it can complicate diagnosis and treatment.
Complex OSA
Some patients experience a combination of obstructive and central sleep apnoea, known as Complex OSA, which requires a different treatment approach.
Sleep Apnoea and Comorbid Insomnia
Insomnia often coexists with sleep apnoea, making diagnosis tricky and treatment less effective unless both are addressed.
Sleep Apnoea and Sleep Bruxism
Clenching or grinding teeth during sleep (bruxism) is commonly seen in patients with sleep apnoea and may impact both dental and airway health.
