Symptoms

Hypertension and decreased blood oxygen levels are common symptoms for people with sleep apnea, but these are not easily detected. Here are the symptoms that are easiest to identify without diagnostic testing:

• Excessive sleepiness (use the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to evaluate your sleepiness)
• Snoring (people with OSA usually snore but not always)
• Witnessed apneas or irregular breathing during sleep (gasping, long pauses, etc – a spouse or partner may notice these)
• Impaired concentration
• Impaired memory
• Morning headaches
• Sexual dysfunction
