Common signs of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults include unexplained daytime sleepiness, restless sleep, and loud snoring (with periods of silence followed by gasps). |
|
Additional symptoms of sleep apnea include:
· Morning headaches · Insomnia · Trouble concentrating · Mood changes such as irritability, anxiety and depression · Forgetfulness · Increased heart rate and/or blood pressure · Decreased sex drive · Unexplained weight gain · Changes in urination · Frequent heartburn and heavy night sweats

Sleep Apnea Symptoms for Children |
|
Sleep disorders in children are conditions that prevent them from getting the oxygen needed while they sleep, creating a form of suffocation. Obstructive sleep apnea in children is being increasingly recognized as a cause of attention and behavior problems as well as learning and developmental problems. |
|
Symptoms include: · Snoring · Mouth breathing · Restlessness during sleep · Sleeping in odd positions · Periods of not breathing · Teeth grinding
|
|
|
|
Children with undiagnosed OSA are frequently misdiagnosed as having ADHD and placed on unnecessary medications. |
|
