Clinical Information
Central Sleep Apnea Syndrome
a broad classification of disorders which includes 6 subtypes (primary central sleep apnea, central sleep apnea due to cheyne-stokes breathing pattern, central sleep apnea due to medical condition not cheyne-stokes, central sleep apnea due to high-altitude periodic breathing, central sleep apnea due to drug or substance and primary sleep apnea of infancy) that are each characterized by interruptions in breathing while asleep. it is caused by improper signaling from the brainstem to respiratory muscles and is triggered by either hypoventilation or hyperventilation. in adults, this disorder may arise following a stroke, congestive heart failure, trauma, infection or the use of narcotic medications. it is more common in older males and may present as a co-morbid condition to obesity. clinical signs include snoring, insomnia or hypersomnia, difficulty concentrating and fatigue. recurrent episodes of hypoxia/hypoxemia have long-term detrimental effects on cardiovascular health.

Patient Education
Breathing Problems
When you're short of breath, it's hard or uncomfortable for you to take in the oxygen your body needs. You may feel as if you're not getting enough air. Sometimes you can have mild breathing problems because of a stuffy nose or intense exercise. But shortness of breath can also be a sign of a serious disease.
Many conditions can make you feel short of breath:
- Lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, or pneumonia
- Problems with your trachea or bronchi, which are part of your airway system
- Heart disease can make you feel breathless if your heart cannot pump enough blood to supply oxygen to your body
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Allergies
If you often have trouble breathing, it is important to find out the cause.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
