What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious disorder that interrupts breathing during sleep and can lead to a number of physical and mental health problems. But how do you know if you have sleep apnea? Here, are a few of the symptoms of this common disorder.

It's important to understand that sleep apnea isn't just snoring. Sleep apnea causes pauses in breathing while a person is sleeping which reduces the air that reaches their lungs.

Those suffering from sleep apnea should seek diagnosis and treatment.

Many people who have sleep apnea are unaware and do not realize the difficulties they're experiencing in their every day lives may be caused by the condition.
