Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Symptoms of Untreated Sleep Apnea:

According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep apnea is a condition that affects more than 18 million Americans. While it is a common sleep disorder, it can have long-term side effects, and it is essential to be aware of its warning signs. The most common sleep apnea symptoms include:

Loud snoring
Episodes in which you stop breathing during sleep (reported by another person)
Gasping for air during sleep

Awakening with a dry mouth
Morning headaches
Difficulty staying asleep (insomnia)

Excessive sleepiness (hypersomnia)
Difficulty paying attention while awake
Irritability

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Risk Factors:

Some factors that increase the risk of this form of sleep apnea include:

Being overweight
Neck circumference
A narrowed airway: Tonsils or adenoids can enlarge and block the airway, particularly in children
Being male: Men are two to three times more likely to have sleep apnea than women
Use of alcohol or smoking
Nasal congestion
