Apnea: Introduction. Apnea is a cessation or pause in breathing. Very short episodes of apnea can be normal, and a person can induce voluntary, short-term apnea by holding one's breath. However, apnea can also be a symptom of a variety of mild to serious disorders, diseases or conditions.
CPAP is the most popular treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It uses air pressure to keep the airway open during sleep. The CPAP machine varies in size. Most are about the size of a lunch box.
