What is Sleep Apnea Syndrome?

A group of sleep disorders where breathing repeatedly abnormally slows or stops . It may be caused by physical obstruction of the airway, abnormal brain signaling or a mixture of both. Symptoms include snoring, choking during sleep, daytime drowsiness and morning headaches. If left untreated, it also increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.

Typical Symptoms of Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Diagnostic Questions for Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you stop breathing when sleeping?
  • Does your headache get worse in the morning?
  • Do you feel more tired in the morning?
  • Do you feel your chin is small?
  • Do you have trouble sleeping deeply?

Treatment of Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Treatment varies based on the type and severity of sleep apnea syndrome. In mild cases, treatment consists of lifestyle changes like weight loss, smoking cessation or nighttime use of a mouthpiece to keep the airway open. In more severe cases, it may require medications, surgery and a machine (CPAP machine) to keep the airway open while sleeping.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
