*Loud and chronic (ongoing) [[snoring]] with pauses in between. Choking or gasping may also follow the pauses. The snoring usually is loudest when you sleep on your back, may be less noisy when you turn on your side. Snoring may not happen every night and over time, the [[snoring]] may happen more often and get louder.
Common symptoms in patients with sleep apnea include loud, chronic snoring, interruptions in breathing while sleeping, and somnolence. There are many non-specific symptoms that include morning headaches, mood changes, lack of concentration, and history of diseases such as CHF. Children have specific symptoms such as hyperactivity and behavior problems.
*Excessive day time sleepiness
*Non -specific [[symtoms]] include
**Morning [[headaches]]
**Trouble concentrating
**[[Irritability]]
**Memory problems
**Mood or behavior change, often depressed
**Personality changes
**Decreased [[libido]]
**Increased [[heart rate]]
**Increased frequency of urination, nocturia (getting up during the night to urinate)
**[[Gastroesophageal reflux disease|Esophageal reflux]]
**Heavy sweating at night


The most serious consequence of obstructive sleep apnea is to the heart. In severe and prolonged cases, there are increases in pulmonary pressures that are transmitted to the right side of the heart. This can result in a severe form of congestive heart failure ([[cor pulmonale]]).
