Having obstructive sleep apnea can be very scary. It can be very scary because experts estimate that there are 12 million undiagnosed cases of sleep apnea in the United States every year.Apparently we choose to ignore the symptoms of sleep apnea, instead of educating ourselves.
So what are the symptoms of sleep apnea? Pretty simple. There are ten major symptoms
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Loud or disruptive snoring
- Gasping/choking during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Dry or sore throat
- Irritability
- Loss of energy

In addition, studies have shown that men suffer from sleep apnea about two to one over women. Also, folks who have high blood pressure, are overweight and have a narrower than normal airway tend to experience sleep apnea symptoms more than others.
