Common Symptoms
What Causes Sleep Apnea?
Collapsed airways during sleep may cause these nighttime breathing pauses. You may have a genetic predisposition for this condition, and other factors can contribute to the disorder as well. Obesity, wide necks, and other health conditions could increase your chances of the disorder. Sleep apnea can also result from pre-bedtime drinking or smoking.
Symptoms To Watch For
Because breathing pauses occur when you’re asleep, it’s hard to spot a problem. You may experience symptoms such as dry mouth in the morning, headaches, or a sore throat. Additionally, loud, chronic snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea. If you are uncertain whether your symptoms indicate a more significant condition, please consider taking our sleep risk quiz today.
