Symptoms

• Snoring - Although not everyone who snores has apnea, snoring in combination with other conditions such as being overweight can be a warning sign.
• Stop Breathing/Gasping - A stronger indicator of sleep apnea is that time when snoring stops. If both snoring and breathing stop and then are followed with a deep gasp, this is a classic apnea event.

Other indicators include (but are not limited to):

• Enlarged tonsils and large tongue volume
• Morning headaches
• Heartburn
• Irritability
• Mood swings/depression
• Learning and/or memory difficulties
• Sexual dysfunction
