Obstructive Sleep Apnea is characterised by pauses in breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and closes during sleep.

If you suspect that you have sleep apnoea and will need to see a doctor about your symptoms. You may be required to get a referral to a sleep specialist from your primary care physician and/or you may be required to go to a testing facility (sleep lab).

Presently, although there are some 6,500 / 7,000 patients diagnosed in Ireland with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), European Union medical research indicates that somewhere in the region of 95/105,000 people in Ireland actually suffer from the disorder, ranging from mild to severe.
