These muscles support the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, the sides of the throat, and the tongue.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your muscles relax, your airways narrow or close, preventing you from getting enough air, which can lower your blood oxygen levels. Your brain detects that you can&#039;t breathe and causes you to briefly wake up to breathe. This is usually so brief that you don&#039;t remember it. This pattern can repeat itself 5 to 30 times or more each hour, throughout the night, disrupting your ability to rest.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>symptoms<\/strong> The most common ones are:<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loud snoring<\/li>\n<li>Episodes where you stop breathing during sleep (as reported by another person)<\/li>\n<li>Gasping while breathing during sleep<\/li>\n<li>Waking up with a dry mouth<\/li>\n<li>Morning headache<\/li>\n<li>Trouble staying asleep (insomnia)<\/li>\n<li>Excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia).<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty paying attention while you&#039;re awake<\/li>\n<li>Irritability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sleep apnea can lead to serious <strong>consequences<\/strong> as:<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High blood pressure or heart problems<\/strong>Those who breathe through their mouths for decades, and whose sleep apneas persist day after day, eventually reach a point where their heart can no longer withstand the strain and a heart attack occurs.
