Sleep Apnea Symptoms

• Gasping for air or choking during sleep.
• Loud snoring.

Sleep Apnea Signs

The inability to breathe properly often results in sudden awakenings throughout the night that interrupt your sleep and prevent you from feeling refreshed throughout the day. As a result, you might find yourself struggling to stay awake during the day or feeling irritable and depressed. Other signs that you may be experiencing sleep apnea include:

• Painful and inexplicable headaches in the morning.
• Waking up with a sore throat or dry mouth.
• Memory problems and difficulty concentrating.
• Urinating frequently throughout the night.

It is important to note that the presence of one or more of these signs and symptoms does not confirm that you have sleep apnea. You may be a heavy snorer or urinate frequently throughout the night for reasons other than sleep apnea. To be sure of your diagnosis, consult with your dentist or doctor to undergo professional evaluation.
