COMMON SYMPTOMS

Common symptoms of Sleep Apnea, such as loud snoring, frequent waking up during the night, and daytime fatigue.

• Loud snoring is one of the most common symptoms of Sleep Apnea. It occurs because the airway becomes narrowed or blocked, which causes the air to move faster as it passes through. This can cause the surrounding tissues to vibrate, resulting in loud snoring. The snoring may also be interrupted by pauses or choking sounds as the person struggles to breathe.
• Frequent waking up during the night is another common symptom of Sleep Apnea. As a person's breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, the brain is forced to wake them up to re-open the airway. This can happen multiple times a night, causing fragmented sleep and a lack of deep restful sleep.
• Daytime fatigue is a common symptom of Sleep Apnea. The lack of deep, restful sleep caused by repeated interruptions in breathing can leave individuals feeling tired and groggy during the day. This can affect work performance, relationships, and overall quality of life. Other daytime symptoms can include difficulty paying attention and remembering things, irritability, and a lack of motivation.
• In addition, people with sleep Apnea may also experience headaches, dry mouth, sore throat, and nightmares. Some people may also have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, even if they do not snore or wake up during the night.
