The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea, arises when the tongue and throat tissues relax during sleep and cause a physical blockage of the airway.
While anyone can be affected, most don’t even recognise their symptoms. About 60% of regular snorers are also tired and have obstructive sleep apnea. Sufferers may wake, gasping or choking, and experience restless sleep or insomnia. Daytime symptoms such as clumsiness, depression, anxiety and poor memory may also be present. For a more comprehensive list of signs and symptoms, see our Sleep Apnea page.
Even beyond the day-to-day impacts that sleep apnea may be having on your quality of life, it can also have serious long-term ramifications for your health. Research suggests that sleep apnea may play a role in contributing to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease,
stroke and diabetes.
