I think they dropped me on my head at no extra charge or something. My mother smoked like a furnace until I was ten years old (thanks for that scar tissue in my lungs from second-hand smoke, mom!) and I was born in one of the former malpratice capitals of the country.

Mild Sleep Apnea By Definition. Mild cases are actually mild cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). After a polysomnography, the AHI ratings can be properly determined. 5 to 15 AHI per hour during sleep is considered as a mild case. Mild cases are often not at much risk, and treatment for these cases is not too complicated.
(May 2010). Central sleep apnea (CSA) or central sleep apnea syndrome (CSAS) is a sleep-related disorder in which the effort to breathe is diminished or absent, typically for 10 to 30 seconds, either intermittently or in cycles and is usually associated with a reduction in blood oxygen saturation.f the majority of the events are obstructive apneas or hypopneas it is classified as obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea. Polysomnography of sleep apnea shows interruption in breathing, that are followed by drops/reduction in blood oxygen and hike/increase in blood carbon dioxide level.
