Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Sleep apnea:
NINDS Sleep Apnea Information Page: NINDS (Excerpt)
Symptoms of sleep apnea may include restless sleep, loud, heavy
snoring (often interrupted by silence and then gasps), falling asleep
while driving and/or during the day (at work, watching TV, etc.), morning
headaches, loss of energy, trouble concentrating, irritability,
forgetfulness, mood or behavior changes, anxiety or depression, obesity,
and decreased interest in sex. Not all people with sleep apnea experience
all of these symptoms and not everyone who has these symptoms has sleep
apnea. However, it is recommended that people who are experiencing even a
few of these symptoms visit their physician for evaluation. Prompt and
proper diagnosis of sleep apnea is an important first step to treating the
disorder.

Sleep Apnea: NWHIC (Excerpt)
In a given night, the number of involuntary breathing pauses or "apneic
events" may be as high as 20 to 30 or more per hour. These breathing
pauses are almost always accompanied by snoring between apnea episodes,
although not everyone who snores has this condition. (Source: excerpt from Sleep Apnea: NWHIC)
Sleep Apnea: NWHIC (Excerpt)
Because of the serious disturbances in their normal sleep patterns,
people with sleep apnea often feel very sleepy during the day and their
concentration and daytime performance suffer. The consequences of sleep
apnea range from annoying to life-threatening. They include depression,
high blood pressure, irritability, sexual dysfunction, learning and memory
difficulties, and falling asleep while at work, on the phone, or driving.
Risk for heart attack and stroke may also increase in those with sleep
apnea. In addition, sleep apnea is sometimes implicated in sudden infant
death syndrome (SIDS). (Source: excerpt from Sleep Apnea: NWHIC)
Sleep Apnea: NWHIC (Excerpt)
People with sleep apnea usually aren’t even aware they have a problem
and may not believe it when told. For many sleep apnea patients, their
spouses are the first ones to suspect that something is wrong, usually
from their heavy snoring and apparent struggle to breathe. Coworkers or
friends of the sleep apnea victim may notice that the individual falls
asleep during the day at inappropriate times (such as while driving a car,
working, or talking). It is important that the person see a doctor for
evaluation of the sleep problem. (Source: excerpt from Sleep Apnea: NWHIC)
