Sleep Apnea in Union City - What are the signs and
symptoms of Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder that millions of Americans experience. However, diagnosing sleep apnea is not always easy. Oftentimes it is detected by an individual’s sleeping partner that is annoyed by their spouse's snoring, or notice that their spouse stops breathing in the middle of the night. Other times, it takes a sleep study to diagnose if an individual is going to the doctor complaining of several issues without an explanation. Diagnosing sleep apnea can be difficult because the signs and symptoms are not exactly clear for the individuals themselves to distinguish.

For the individual that experiences sleep apnea, they may find that they wake up from a full night's sleep feeling un-rested. They may wake up with headaches, or feel out of breath once they get out of bed. Some find themselves awakening numerous times a night, or getting up to go to the bathroom throughout the evening. During the day, they may feel extremely tired, find it difficult to concentrate, and may be irritable and depressed.

For the sleeping partner, they may notice more of the nighttime activity as to how it relates to the way their partner feels during the day. For example, their bed partner may be disrupted by the loud, continual snoring. They may also notice that their partner gasps or chokes during their sleep, and oftentimes notice their breathing may stop for an extended period of time before it starts back up again. This is what makes sleep apnea such as serious concern--the lack of oxygen that the individual gets from these "pauses" can be a huge problem.
