Serious Warning Signs Of Sleep Apnea

Stop Breathing Periodically While Sleeping

The hallmark of sleep apnea is patients stop breathing periodically while sleeping. Typically, these episodes don't lead affected individuals to wake up or experience physical distress or panic. Most patients with sleep apnea aren't even aware they stop breathing in their sleep, and these periods are typically reported by another person like a sleeping partner. If an individual gets a sleep test to diagnose a potential sleep disorder, the technicians can also observe periods of stopped breathing to provide a sleep apnea diagnosis. With the most common kind of sleep apnea, the periodic moments of stopped breathing happen because the airway has become closed due to relaxed throat muscles.
