How can I tell if my snoring is cause for concern?
Snoring by itself and snoring with sleep apnea can be hard to distinguish from each other. The presence of loud snoring, gasping, and daytime sleepiness are suggestive of sleep apnea, but the only way to be certain is with a sleep study.
Take the Sleep Quiz to find out if a sleep study can help you.
Medical problems of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and diabetes are often improved if underlying sleep apnea is treated. Sleep apnea is sometimes overlooked because underlying medical problems can have similar symptoms such as fatigue and poor sleep.
Talk to your ARC primary care doctor to find out more about snoring, sleep apnea, and the ARC Sleep Lab.
