A member asked:
I have all sleep apnea symptoms, but i don't choke or gurgle to catch my breath every night. can that happen with obstructive apnea?

Sleep apnea. : So by symptoms, do you mean daytime sleepiness and snoring? If so, this could very well still be sleep apnea. A sleep study would tell us for sure.

Yes: Sleep apnea does not necessarily result in constant loud snoring. If you have other symptoms or risk factors for sleep apnea you should have a sleep study done that can rule out or in any apnea.
