SYMPTOMS OF SLEEP APNEA

Most people with symptoms of sleep apnea fall asleep at work, at movies, while driving...everywhere!

Do you feel very tired during the day? Do you have sleeping problems in the night?

A person who hasn't found he has sleep apnea doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

He thinks he is normal, and other people may be just different. Or, he will blame on other diseases for his disorders.


For example, maybe you blame your weight problem, your hypothyroidism, your heart disorder or your medications for taking naps during the day.

But this are only symptoms of a cause. And the cause is very likely to be sleep apnea.
