If you think you or someone you know may have sleep apnea, please watch this video. This is man going through single sleep apnea event.
In the video watch how the tongue drops back to seal off the airway preventing air from entering or exiting the lungs. The simulated “flashes” being displayed in the brain is a depiction of it trying to “arouse” the person and get them to start breathing.
In severe cases of sleep apnea, a person may experience over 60 events just like this every hour. It is important for someone who snores loudly, stops, makes a choking sound, then snores again to get an appointment with a physician who specializes in sleep medicine, for they are likely suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.
