Do You Show Signs of Sleep Apnea?
The symptom most commonly associated with sleep apnea is snoring. Of course, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea but if it is combined with choking or gasping sounds it is more likely sleep apnea Sleep apnea affects the way you breathe when you are sleeping. When sleep apnea is untreated, breathing is briefly interrupted or becomes very shallow during your sleep.
Symptoms may include: loud or frequent snoring, choking or gasping while you are asleep, pauses in your breathing, morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, frequent need to urinate during the night, waking up with dry mouth or sore throat, moodiness, irritability, or depression, etc.
Your breathing pauses will typically last between 10 to 20 seconds and can occur hundreds of times a night, jolting you out of your natural sleep rhythm.
If left untreated it can also lead to serious health issues over time, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and weight gain. With treatment you can control your symptoms, get your much needed sleep back on schedule and start enjoying being fully awake and refreshed.
Anyone can have sleep apnea, regardless of age, gender or body type.
