Description:

Sleep Disorders: Dr. William Frazier, a pulmonologist, discusses sleep disorders. The most common sleep disorder is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway closes at night to cause you to stop breathing for a short period of time. This happens many times a night and causes many problems, including poor sleep. The most common symptom is snoring. Sleep apnea can causes multiple medical problems, and should be evaluated with a sleep study if sleep apnea is suspected.

Thank you for this information doctor. My family would bug me on my snoring as a joke, but this video convinced me that it can be a serious matter.
