With eye pain, there may be other symptoms too, which may help diagnose the cause of the discomfort. These include: 1  Conjunctivitis-red itchy eyes. 2  Tears. 3  Light sensitivity (photophobia). 4  Discharge, which can be clear, or thick and coloured (pus). 5  The eye being crusted shut after sleep due to discharge.
The process of breathing performs a number of important gas exchanges through inhalation and exhalation. When someone inhales, they contract and move their diaphragm, which allows the lungs to expand. This is a part of the process needed to psychically suck in the air. When a person exhales, the diaphragm relaxes and the movement is undone. This allows air to be gradually pushed out of the lungs.
When you have this condition, your breath can become very shallow or you may even stop breathing -- briefly -- while you sleep. It can happen many times a night in some people. Obstructive sleep apnea happens when something partly or completely blocks your upper airway during shut-eye. That makes your diaphragm and chest muscles work harder to open the obstructed airway and pull air into the lungs. Breathing usually resumes with a loud gasp, snort, or body jerk.
