Pic of how one feels with sleep apnea (LOL)

The airflow stops during a sleep apnea episode. The level of oxygen in your blood drops. The sleep is briefly the brain kick start the breathing —which often restarts with a choking sound or a gasp. You probably won’t remember these awakenings if you have obstructive sleep apnea. Most of the time, you’ll stir just enough to open your windpipe and tighten your throat muscles. In central sleep apnea, you may be conscious of your awakenings.

It can be difficult to identify sleep apnea on your own, since the most prominent symptoms only occur during asleep. But you can get around this difficulty by recording yourself during sleep or by asking a bed partner to observe your sleep styles. Sleep apnea can also lead to serious health problems over time, including high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and weight gain.
