Common symptoms
Snoring
Snoring is the sound that happens when air is trying to pass through narrowed air passages. Everybody knows someone who snores and it affects more than just the snorer.
Gasping
When air can’t get to your body, it goes into distress. Your body and brain need oxygen! Gasping for air often follows episodes of loud snoring. Your bed partner may hear these sounds and may find them quite scary!
Fatigue

Easily Irritated
