Many probably didn't know much about sleep apnea until DavidLicauco opened up on social media about having scary breathing lapses while sleeping. What exactly is this sleep disorder? | via philstarlife

Doc Willie explained,"The brain knows you're in a delicate situation because you're losing oxygen. Good thing you wake up to remove the obstruction. But when you go back to sleep, this will happen again, the airway will collapse again."According to Dr.

Sadly, you might not even know you have this very common problem that's linked to heart disease and metabolic issues like diabetes. Those with a family history of OSA are also at risk, Doc Willie added."You have a higher risk if you have first-degree family members with sleep apnea."
