Many cases of sleep apnea go untreated because the person suffering from sleep apnea has no idea they’re dealing with such a serious medical condition.
Of those who snore, one in 7 experience significant obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea means you stop breathing, sometimes for more than 2 minutes, and in severe cases over 100 times per hour!
The signs of sleep apnea:
Snoring: Very loud snoring that wakes up your bed partner.
Feeling bad when you wake up: Morning headaches, dry throat and mouth, and a severely sore throat in the morning.
Sleepiness: Waking up feeling tired no matter how much sleep you’ve had, feeling sleepy during the day and dozing off behind the wheel while driving.
Difficulty sleeping: Waking up frequently, feeling restless at night and insomnia. This is especially a presenting symptom in women.
Gasping and choking: Waking up feeling short of breath, gasping for air or with the sensation that you’re choking.
Cognitive and mood changes: Memory problems, anxiety and depression.
