What Are the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?
When it comes to Sleep Apnea, it is something that worries many. The fact is that many people are not sleeping correctly or that they sleep for a full eight hours and wake up feeling as if they didn’t sleep at all. Sleep Apnea can be the cause of this. More often then not, you won’t know that you have this condition but will go to see your doctor because you are just tired all the time. Many people find themselves shocked to hear that something was wrong with their actual sleeping patterns. In fact, many don’t realize that anything at all is happening to them.
What are the symptoms that you should look for? No matter what type of Sleep Apnea that you have, obstructive or central, your symptoms are likely to be about the same. This can make it a bit more difficult to determine what type of apnea you actually suffer from. Here are some of the symptoms that you are likely to be facing.

- Hypersomnia - You may be tired during the day even though you have slept through the night.
- Snoring - One of the most common symptoms that most people face is that of snoring. There is no doubt that snoring can be tiresome, but it can also be a sign of something much more serious. If your snoring wakes up your spouse, then it is time to talk to your doctor about it.
- Morning headaches - These are another common sign of Sleep Apnea.
- Breathing Cessation - You may actually observe or notice yourself waking up for no reason in the middle of the night. Or, someone else may notice that you are doing this. Again, your spouse is a great help in spotting this condition.
- Dry mouth - Often, those that suffer from this condition will wake up with the feel of a dry mouth or even a sore throat.
- Insomnia - Many of those that suffer from Sleep Apnea have insomnia or the condition in which they just can not fall asleep and stay asleep. There may be nothing else causing this to happen.
If you wake up with a shortness of breath, it is likely that you will be facing central Sleep Apnea. If you are more commonly snoring loudly, this is characterized by obstructive Sleep Apnea. Nevertheless, if you face any of these problems, it is necessary to talk to your doctor about your condition as soon as possible.
