Don’t ignore sleep apnea symptoms
A friend of mine just went on a “girls” weekend with her daughter and granddaughter. On the first morning, the daughter complained that her mother’s snoring kept her awake and insisted that she has sleep apnea. Apparently, her husband has it, so she’s aware of the symptoms.
While thinking about denying she snores, my friend realized that her husband would never hear her at night, as he suffers from severe deafness and can’t hear a thing without his hearing aids. As soon as she returned home, she made an appointment to get tested.
“Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, you might have sleep apnea,” Mayo Clinic explains.
