What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where your breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when throat muscles intermittently relax and block the airway. Left untreated, it can lead to:
- Chronic fatigue and daytime drowsiness
- High blood pressure and heart disease
- Decreased cognitive performance
- Increased risk of accidents and injury
If you’re waking up gasping, snoring heavily, or still feeling exhausted after a full night's sleep, you may be dealing with sleep apnea.
Symptoms to Watch For
Many people with sleep apnea aren’t even aware they have it. Common symptoms include:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Frequent awakenings or gasping for air at night
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
- Daytime fatigue and irritability
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
If any of these apply to you or your partner has noticed interrupted breathing during the night, it’s time to get evaluated.
