Apnia is when someone stops breathing, so sleep apnia is when someone stops breathing while they sleep. You can only imagine this to be a dangerous situation for someone especially for babies as it could be a cause for SIDS (Suddent infant death syndrom).
Someone with sleep apnia is potentially suffocating themselves as they are not getting enough oxygen into their lungs. This is usually cuased by their throat collapsing while they sleep and thus blocking their airway. As they struggle to get more air they give out a loud snort.
Anyone with sleep apnia see their doctor as there could be a number of causes. If untreated, sleep apnia could lead to other health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke.
