What it means
Sleep apnea symptoms include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, waking up frequently during the night, morning headaches, dry mouth on waking, excessive daytime sleepiness despite a full night of sleep, and difficulty concentrating. A bed partner may notice pauses in your breathing during the night. Untreated sleep apnea raises the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. If you or a family member notices these patterns, speak with your doctor. Diagnosis typically requires a sleep study. Many people find significant relief with CPAP therapy or other treatments.
