Question

practice it
temporary cessation of breathing during sleep caused by a structural defect
panic disorder
sleep apnea
celiac disease
mitral stenosis
status epilepticus

Explanation:

• Panic disorder: It is an anxiety disorder characterized by sudden and repeated panic attacks, not related to breathing cessation during sleep.
• Sleep apnea: This condition involves temporary pauses in breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (a common type) can be caused by a structural defect (e.g., enlarged tonsils, a deviated septum) that blocks the airway.
• Celiac disease: It is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, affecting the small intestine, not related to sleep - breathing issues.
• Mitral stenosis: A heart valve disorder (narrowing of the mitral valve), which mainly affects heart function (e.g., blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle), not directly related to sleep - breathing cessation.
• Status epilepticus: A prolonged or repeated seizure state, which is a neurological emergency related to seizures, not to sleep - breathing problems.

Answer:

sleep apnea
