Understanding and Recognising Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea is a condition that affects your breathing during sleep. When the soft tissue in your throat relaxes, it can interrupt your breathing for 10 to 20 seconds, potentially hundreds of times per night. This not only disrupts your sleep but may lead to serious health issues if left untreated.
Common symptoms of this condition include:
- Loud, chronic snoring with pauses in breath
- Choking or gasping during sleep
- Persistent daytime fatigue
- Morning headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat
- Insomnia or frequent night-time awakenings
- Irritability, forgetfulness, or depression
The Hidden Dangers of Not Treating the Condition
Beyond feeling tired, untreated sleep apnoea can contribute to various health issues such as high blood pressure, weight gain, increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, slower reflexes and poor concentration, and more.
