Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?
Thank you all for the replies. I do not have many of the symptoms you have listed but certainly have a couple:
- Frequent cessation of breathing - on occasion my wife will think I stop breathing, maybe paranoia?
- Choking or gasping -not that I recall
- Loud snoring - only on my back, on my side - very little
- Sudden awakenings -very rearly
- Waking up in a sweat not that I can recall
- Feeling unrefreshed in the morning pretty much all the time but by the time I get to bed, I can only get 6.5 to 7 hours
- Headaches, sore throat, or dry mouth - rearly
- Daytime sleepiness, -tired but never fell asleep
- Lethargy (hold on, lemme get the dictionary) -just kidding - on occasion, but I think because I don't give myself enough time to sleep
- Rapid weight gain - duh
- Memory loss and learning difficulties -I'd say no
- Short attention span -I'm sorry, were you talking to me? lol, Not really
- Poor judgment - not really
- Depression - no
- Personality changes - don't think so

chris,
I also don't have many of the usual symptoms, however as time passed I noticed I yawned during the day and took just short naps while watching TV, never while driving and doing tho.
This morning: I read last night in bed and fell asleep before putting on my bipap machine mask. Woke up once to go to the bathroom and then at my regular time of 6:00 a.m. but had a massive headache (not enough oxygen to the brain) so I slipped on my mask and woke up again at 8:00...headache gone. So...good luck with the sleep study, it's a necessary evil, my technician said I called him a crazy ******* three times in the night but I don't remember it. LOL
