 Obstructive sleep apnea or OSA isn't just about loud rumbles, it's about hidden breathing pauses that can affect anyone, even silent sleepers. Here are the key signs. 1. Gasp and go snoring. Your partner notices brief silences between your snores? That's your airway taking a breather. Literally. 2. Frequent bathroom trips. Nighttime potty patrol could be a sign your body's trying to compensate for low oxygen during sleep. 3. Headache. If you're up with a throbbing reminder of yesterday's snooze fest, oxygen deprivation might be the culprit. 4. Moody mornings. Can't shake the grumpy gremlins? Sleep apnea can mess with your emotional roller coaster. 5. Daytime drowsiness. Feeling like a narcoleptic koala? Excessive sleepiness is a classic OSA symptom. But here's the good news. You don't have to surrender to sleep apnea.
