Is it possible to have sleep apnea symptoms during the day?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Feeling sleepy and unable to focus during the day, falling asleep when you don’t intend to and not having a “clear head” are all symptoms of sleep apnea. If you believe you might have sleep apnea, see a sleep physician and have a sleep study done. This will provide the answers you seek.

Yes, there are subjective & objective patient questionnaires such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to rate daytime sleepiness & the S.T.O.P. - B.A.N.G. is an acronym, which stands for Snoring, Tiredness, Observed Apnea, High Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Age, Neck size over 17” circumference and Gender. Treatment can include CPAP, Surgery, Oral Appliances. A small or narrow jaw can increase risk
