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

- A neck circumference over 16 ” in women and over 17 ” in men or congestion of the upper airways
- Concentration disturbances
- Helplessness
- Hypersomnolence

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