Do I have sleep apnea?

Best Blogger Tips

If you have one or more of the following symptoms, sleep apnea maybe cause of your snoring;
  • Nightly snoring interrupted by pauses in breathing
  • Falling asleep at work, while driving, etc.
  • Loss of energy, fatigue
  • Choking and gasping during sleep
  • restless sleep
  • High blood pressure
  • Neck size greater than 17 inches in men, 16 inches in women
  • Overweight
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Irritability
  • Morning headache
  • Forgetfulness
  • Sexual dysfunction
If you think you may have sleep apnea, a polysomnogram or sleep study can provide doctors with valuable information about how you breath and sleep. At the sleep laboratory, electrodes and various skin sensors monitor physical variables like nose/mouth airflow, breathing patterns, heart rhythms, oxygen level, and muscle activity. The results are then evaluated by a sleep specialist for diagnosed and treatment...

TRY sleeping on your side, it may improve or even cure sleep apnea!!!
