How to Know if You Have Sleep Apnoea
1. Identify Symptoms of Sleep Apnoea
The first step of diagnosing Sleep Apnoea is to check for the common Sleep Apnoea symptoms:
- Loud snoring: OSA snoring is extremely common and is caused by your tongue, mouth tissues and throat relaxing too much.
- Gasping and choking during sleep: Poorly controlled airway muscles make it harder to keep the airway open, resulting in struggling to breathe and waking up choking.
- Morning headaches: Consistent oxygen deprivation can cause hypoxic morning headaches associated with OSA.
- High blood pressure: As the body wakes up to regain oxygen, it can cause spikes in blood pressure.
- Memory loss: Poor sleep can make it difficult to convert short-term memory to long-term memory.
- Falling asleep at the wheel: As the body continuously wakes up to regain oxygen it causes broken sleep, leading to drowsy driving.
