You don\u2019t want to ignore sleep apnea<\/a>\nuntil it leads to a heart attack or starts badly affecting the quality of your\nlife. Thus, it\u2019s important to be able to identify the disorder as quickly as\npossible. The most obvious sign of sleep apnea is usually loud, chronic snoring\n\u2013 but what if you don\u2019t have a partner that can tell you about the noise you\u2019re\nmaking? Here are 4 symptoms that could warn you about your sleep-disordered\nbreathing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Constant Exhaustion During the Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you set aside 7 to 9 hours every night for sleep, you\nshould normally wake up feeling refreshed. However, people with sleep apnea may\nfind that even after what appeared to be a full night\u2019s rest, they still feel\ndrowsy and exhausted throughout the day. This is because during sleep apnea,\nyour breathing frequently stops, and your brain forces you to wake up for air. These\nfrequent awakenings interrupt the sleep cycle, stopping you from reaching the restorative\nstages of slumber. As a result, you\u2019ll constantly be tired to the point where\nyou\u2019re at a higher risk for accidents on the road or at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Waking Up Feeling Like You\u2019re Choking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, you won\u2019t even realize that sleep apnea is\nwaking you up. These awakenings are usually very short, so you won\u2019t remember\nthem afterwards. However, every once in a while, you will experience a choking\nsensation as you wake up, and you\u2019ll end up gasping for air. Needless to say,\nif such an event happens, you should be tested for sleep apnea right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Frequent Morning Headaches or a Sore Throat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you constantly wake up with pain in your head? There\u2019s a\nvery good chance that it\u2019s related to sleep apnea. In fact, those who suffer\nfrom headaches on a regular basis have a 2 to 8 times greater risk of\ndeveloping a sleep disorder. For that matter, sleep apnea often dries out your\nthroat, leaving it dry and scratchy in the morning. Waking up with these\nsymptoms every once in a while may not be cause for alarm, but you should definitely\nseek professional treatment if they happen almost every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Insomnia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many different reasons you might be suffering from\ninsomnia, including asthma, sinus allergies, chronic pain, and certain\nmedications. However, there\u2019s also a chance that sleep apnea is making it\ndifficult for you to fall asleep at all. It\u2019s always better to narrow down the\nunderlying cause of insomnia as soon as you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that sleep apnea can happen to anyone, but it\u2019s\ngenerally more frequent in men, people who suffer from obesity, or people with\nlarge neck circumferences and\/or small lower jaws. If you fall into any of\nthose categories and notice the above symptoms, get in touch with a sleep\ndentist right away to ask about having a sleep test performed. Once a diagnosis\nis made, you can start seeking treatment that will help you enjoy uninterrupted\nrest again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
