What are the warning signs or symptoms of sleep apnea?

- Sleepiness or lack of energy during the day
- Morning headaches
- Forgetfulness

How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
The best way to find out if you have sleep apnea is by undergoing a sleep study. A sleep study can be performed under the supervision of a physician in a lab, or in the privacy of your own home. Special equipment will record data such as oxygen levels, brain activity, and muscle movement and a physician will determine if you have sleep apnea. From there, we can start treatment right away.
