Sleep apnea is a condition where your airway becomes blocked during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing. Left untreated, it can lead to significant health risks.
Symptoms include:
- Loud, persistent snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
- Morning headaches
Sleep apnea doesn’t just rob you of rest; it can increase your risk for serious health conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression.
