Do You Have Sleep Apnea? Here's How to Tell

Over 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and over 90 million Americans snore. While not everyone that snores has sleep apnea, not everyone with sleep apnea may snore. Sebastian interviews Dr. Joel Gould to understand what really happens to your brain and body if you have sleep apnea, and when you should seek treatment (hint: right away).

I have sleep apnea and it can be a serious health problem. Not only making you tired during the day but can cause other health problems.

It's worth mentioning that sleep apnoea isn't always a full obstruction of the airway. That sure sounded like an obstructive apnoea to me though. Another idea is to get pulse oximetry data from an O2 ring or finger probe as that will show drops in O2 saturation. If you see lots of drops below 90%, you definitely need to get it treated. Even after you begin sleep therapy, O2 data helps to review therapy effectiveness.

The background music being almost as loud as the voices is SO annoying and I cannot concentrate on what is being said! There really is no need for background music.

I wish people were more aware of sleep apnea!!!

Thank you for creating and sharing the very helpful video for snorers and people with sleep apnea.

this sounds just like my brother. he is pretty healthy but he had surgery on his nose and ever since then he snores and sometimes it sounds like he isn’t breathing. it’s scary. i wonder if he has sleep apnea too

[seaya]

the silent killer sleep apnea, i had no symptoms but got diagnosed with it still

[adariajohnson]

I'm so excited for the relief of Sleep Apnea with a restful night Sleep 💤

[vernomas]

i just wake up exhausted everyday what does that mean?

[SantaFe]

If I am falling asleep in the middle of the day almost every day, after plenty of sleep, is that a sign of sleep apnea?

[ReelEC]

Get that sleep study asap! You wouldn't want things to get worse. The problem in Canada is that doctors don't proactively screen for apnea, even with children. I don't know how things are in the US, but it should be a standard practice to use the O2 ring intermittently throughout life to check things out. Sleep apnea screening needs to be more proactively pursed in all individuals considering the proliferation of it in society, especially for those who snore. It ultimately leads to cancer, diabetes, pinched nerves, chronic neck pain and probably a plethora of other issues. Sleep is the foundation of our health. Think of the savings in health care if we caught this earlier in individuals.

Hey
Iam 34 and usually wake up More Than 10 timmes at night and my sleep very shallow/light and my concentration and memory very poor. I wasn’t like that before .

I dont know if that’s sleep apnea .
Does anyone else has same sleep issue ?

[Teeman]

It’s hard to believe only 90 million Americans snore. I would have thought more

[mylittleful]

I asked my wife do we have sleep apnea, we both snore 😬😬. Something to check out, thanks for the info.

[ericaelli]

I definitely think I have sleep apnea. I'm supposed to be getting a sleep test done soon.

[jenifergreenwell]

I had a friend I used to travel with and she had it. The only way she would believe me is after seeing a video I took of her.

[JimboJones]

I had an apnea while lying down awake is that even possible?

[toniamoore]

Very informative I can see some of the factors I could possibly have that could be maybe Apnea. Thank you so this video I really enjoyed the information.

[David-vnid]

Wow, thank you, that was interesting. I have to say...I leaned absolutely nothing.

[sherrichastain]

Oh goodness I snore and i stop breathing I do have sleep apnea. I've used a cpap machine but its been recalled if I stay on my side I seem to sleep better I can't sleep on back it feels like my chest is crushing in within seconds
