Checking for Symptoms of Sleep Apnea in Valencia
Helping Save the Lives & Marriages of Valencia Residents
A good night’s sleep is a precious thing. It can help you lead a full and productive life and serves as a reasonably good barometer for your overall health and wellness. Sufferers of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), however, do not get the duration or quality of sleep that they need to be healthy and successful in their lives.
The following symptoms can indicate the presence of sleep apnea:
- Loud, excessive snoring.
- Difficulty sleeping.
- Destructive teeth grinding.
- Unintentionally falling asleep during the day.
- Morning headaches.
- Shortness of breath.
- Daytime drowsiness.
- Choking or snorting during the night, indicating breathing restarting.
It is estimated that over 18 million American adults suffer from sleep apnea. The word “apnea” means that there is a pause in the person’s breathing lasting about ten seconds; this happens repeatedly throughout the night, interrupting sleep patterns and causing low blood oxygen levels.
