As a sleep disorder that causes irregular breathing during sleep, sleep apnea is most often a sign of an obstructed airway. Obstructions can be caused by the position of the jaw, flattened tissues in the throat while sleeping and blockage by the tongue. Sleep apnea can affect your quality of life and can contribute to medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Some of the more common symptoms of sleep apnea are:
- Severe snoring
- Headaches when you wake
- Dry or sore throat
- Irritability
