Sleep Apneacs is a term for those who suffer through this sleeping disorder…
If you experience any one of the following effects, you might be suffering from a sleep disorder called, "Sleep Apnea". Some of these symptoms are: Loud snoring, headaches, high blood pressure, a dry mouth upon awakening, heartburn, depression, difficulty concentration, insomnia, frequent trips to the restroom, restless sleep, gasping or choking immediately upon awakening, and most importantly, progressive weight gain. If one of these sounds familiar don't hesitate to mention this to your physician. Doctors are well aware of the Sleep Clinic and will order a study for you. You may even want to ask your spouse/bed partner about your sleeping habits.
An individual suffering from SLEEP APNEA will go through a series of respiratory events called Apneas/Hypopneas.
The significance is a very disturbed sleep cycle, which will cause excessive daytime sleepiness (fatigue) that can rule your day. You may ask why tiresome evenings can rule your day or even your life. If you've ever nodded off at the wheel of your vehicle, you might agree. Sleep Apnea is the number one leading cause of commercial driving accidents. So if there is any question that you may be experiencing Sleep Apnea do not ignore your condition. It should be taken very seriously.
