Wouldn't the brain respond to a victim of sleep apnea?!
Question: Wouldn't the brain respond to a victim of sleep apnea!?
For someone who dies due to sleep apnea (stop breathing while sleeping), wouldn't your brain send messages to your body saying "BREATH!"!?!? Wouldn't your body go into panic-mode, which would in turn, cause u to wake up and start breathing again!?!?
I know it takes a matter of minutes without breathing to fall unconcsious, let alone dying!.!.!.!.So why don't the victims of sleep apnea wake up!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Well,,,, There are three types of sleep apnea:
1) Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or hypopnea!. This is the most common form of sleep apnea and can occur in all age groups,, Soft tissue in the back of the throat can fall back into the airway when a person breathes,, Muscles in this area normally work to keep the throat open,,,, but the airway can become blocked if the muscles relax during sleep!. When the brain detects a drop in oxygen from not breathing, it quickly sends a signal to the chest muscles and diaphragm to gulp in air!. As a result, the sleeper makes a gasping or snorting sound and partially awakens, although he or she may not remember doing so!. Snoring
