Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders yet remains undiagnosed in more than 20 million Americans. If you often snore loudly during the night, potentially waking yourself or your partner, you may be experiencing this condition. Other symptoms of this sleep disorder include excessive drowsiness or fatigue during the day, as well as headaches. Additionally, if someone has observed pauses in your breathing during sleep, or if you frequently wake up feeling short of breath, sleep apnea may be the culprit.
The risk of sleep apnea is also greater in patients with high blood pressure or obesity. If you are experiencing these associated risk factors and symptoms, it may be necessary to seek a professional medical opinion. When left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to more severe conditions including diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes.
