SLEEP APNEA SYMPTOMS

There are many symptoms of sleep apnea that may only be noticed by a loved one such as:

• Loud snoring
• Periods of not breathing during sleep
• Restlessness
• Chocking or gasping for air during sleep

Because these symptoms occur while you are sleeping, it is entirely possible that you are unaware they are happening. If any of these symptoms are brought to your attention, you should discuss them with one of our Barrie, Ontario, sleep apnea dentists.

The primary symptoms of sleep apnea will happen while you are sleeping, but their consequences can be recognized during the day with symptoms including:

• Daytime sleepiness
• Mood swings
• Cognitive disruptions
• Morning headaches

These can all be signs of sleep apnea and should be discussed with a sleep apnea dentist as soon as possible. Left untreated, sleep apnea can contribute to a host of medical problems including heart disease. The sooner you can be diagnosed with sleep apnea, the sooner treatment can begin that will minimize your risk for future complications.
