Sleep Apnia

Sleep Apnia is a condition that causes a person to stop breathing several times a night. If you have a mild case it may only be once or twice a night but an extreme case may be as many as hundreds of times a night.

Obviously, sleep apnea is a very serious condition. Symptoms of sleep apnea include being drowsy during the day, heartburn, headaches in the morning, and waking up in the night because you are choking and/or gasping.

Of course, the most common way people might know they have a problem is from their husbands or wives who will be aware of it. Although many sleep apnia sufferers are overweight middle aged men, this does not mean that any person of any size or weight is safe from this disorder. Anybody can have obstructive sleep apnea and it is a dangerous condition for those that do.
