WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF OSA?

Sleep apnea can occur in men, women and children – of all ages – regardless of their size. Most people with sleep apnea are unaware of their condition. Often it’s someone else – sleeping under the same roof – who sees the first signs of OSA. If you – or someone you know – snores regularly and has any of the following symptoms, it may be sleep apnea.

THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS ARE, AMONG OTHERS:

  • Loud or disruptive snoring
  • Shortness of breath or suffocation during sleep
  • Excessive fatigue during the day

OTHER COMMON SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS ARE:

  • The frequent need to urinate during the night
  • Restless sleep
  • Nightmares
  • Headache when getting up in the morning
  • High blood pressure
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Depression and increased irritability
  • Obesity
  • A neck circumference over 16 ” in women and over 17 ” in men or congestion of the upper airways
  • Concentration disturbances
  • Helplessness
  • Hypersomnolence
  • Memory loss

Postmenopausal women are also at greater risk of suffering from sleep apnea.
