Obstructive Sleep Apnea Symptoms and Causes
The primary symptoms associated with obstructive sleep apnea are loud snoring sometimes followed by pauses and gasping for air, and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Many people snore, but not all snorers have sleep apnea. Most people do have some awareness of their snoring habits, but have difficulty determining if their snoring is severe enough to indicate obstructive sleep apnea.
Tell your dentist or physician if you snore, experience fatigue and/or daytime sleepiness to help diagnose possible OSA.
