A member asked:
Can i have sleep apnea if i don't snore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is possible to have OSA and not snore, although it is somewhat less common. Some patients "dont snore" either because nobody is around to hear it, or because their airway is completely occluded and they dont make a sound.
