How di u know u hsve sleep apnea?

Many symptoms: The most obvious sign is if someone witnesses you stop breathing and then wake up on a regular basis while you are asleep. Other things that may tip you off to the diagnosis: snoring, sore throat or very dry mouth in the morning, morning headache, or extreme fatigue during the day despite adequate sleep. A sleep study will provide a definitive diagnosis.

Sleep study: You might suspect it based on certain symptoms, but you will only find out if you have a sleep study done.

Snoring: Being tired all the time, wake up in the morning and you still feel tired.

Tape yourself : The easiest way to determine whether you have sleep apnea is to take a tape recorder and tape your sleep at night. The next day rewind and listen to see if you snore and have your irregular respirations. If there is a pause and you hear some gasping that is sleep apnea. At that point you should have sleep study which will confirm the diagnosis. Good luck and well wishes.

Tiring.: Sleep apnea makes you very tired during the day. You'd nod off while reading or watching television. You may awaken a few times overnight, but the majority of symptoms are actually during the day. You'd snore as you sleep, and might awaken to urinate or have nightmares. A sleep study would confirm/deny the clinical suspicion.
