Signs of Sleep Apnea Not to be Ignored
You may be one of the many people who have heard of sleep apnea and are wondering what exactly the signs are. Sleep apnea is becoming more and more common these days and it’s not a minor inconvenience that should be ignored. If you ignore sleep apnea the result can be the build-up of toxins in the blood which can potentially cause damage to muscles and organs. Even the brain can be affected. So what are the signs of sleep apnea and what should you do if you think you may have this condition?
Firstly, when asking what the signs of signs of sleep apnea are remember that just because you have restless nights when you keep waking up it does not mean that you have sleep apnea. You could be waking up because you’ve drunk too much coffee, you’re under stress or even simply because of a lack of exercise. So what’s the difference between sleep apnea and just general problems sleeping?
Symptoms of sleep apnea can include bad headaches, irritability and mood swings, stiff neck, sore throat, daytime drowsiness and muscular aches and pains. During the night, choking, gasping, wheezing, and loud snoring are also symptoms. These symptoms are especially appropriate with sleep apnea because they signal that the body is having trouble breathing during sleep. You have to be aware of both night and day symptoms. Bad headaches can be caused by lots of reasons, as can irritability. However, gasping, choking, wheezing, and loud snoring during the night are almost always signs of sleep apnea.
At the end of the day, if you think there is the slightest chance that you are showing signs of sleep apnes then make an appointment to talk to your doctor. Sleep apnea, in the worst cases can be deadly, so take any fears seriously and get yourself checked out.
