Do I have sleep apnoea?

Usually, people with sleep apnoea find out because a spouse or bed partner noticed them snore or stop breathing during sleep. Other common signs and symptoms include:

- Extreme sleepiness
- Frequent snoring
- Stopping breathing during sleep
- Morning headaches
- Depression
- High blood pressure
- Weight problems

Sleep apnoea is most common among men, people who are overweight and the middle-aged. However, research shows that children and post-menopausal women may also be at risk.
