As I understand, deep-sleep apnea is typically associated with obesity and becomes acute during early or late middle age. Onset may be earlier, if the patient had gained too much weight too early.

What really happens is that brain of a complex organism needs rest. Its part that control and regulate vital functions never take a rest. Relatively less important functions are suspended for a while. One of these functions is muscle control. That’s why muscles go limp during deep sleep, including epiglottis that, when active, regulates what should go to the alimentary canal and what is meant to go into trachea.

Muscles that have collected too much flab or overgrown get sucked into trachea, temporarily blocking passage of air to the lungs, thereby waking up the parts of brain to send distressed commands to the unruly muscles. People suffering from deep-sleep apnea risk death due to asphyxiation during sleep.

At your age it is rather unheard of. By the way, you have not given your weight and BMI. Mild snoring may be normal or maybe precurssor of deep-sleep apnea

Please consult a good physicion.

I would think that it would be sleep apnea because you stop breathing in your sleep.

I had a UPPP surgery to help with my sleep apnea (CPAP machine-titration 19), it wasn’t effective. I would like to know what are other more aggressive options to help regulate my sleep apnea.
