**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]]).
Common Symptoms
*Loud and chronic [[snoring]] with apneas in between
*Gasping, snorting, or interruptions in breathing while sleeping
*Excessive day-time sleepiness


Age, body mass index, male sex, and snoring are the best predictors of sleep apnea.<ref name="pmid1863025">{{cite journal| author=Viner S, Szalai JP, Hoffstein V| title=Are history and physical examination a good screening test for sleep apnea? | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 1991 | volume= 115 | issue= 5 | pages= 356-9 | pmid=1863025 | doi= | pmc= | url= }} </ref> Obstructive sleep apnea is difficult to diagnose based on the history and [[physical examination]]s.<ref name="pmid20143278">{{cite journal| author=Abrishami A, Khajehdehi A, Chung F| title=A systematic review of screening questionnaires for obstructive sleep apnea. | journal=Can J Anaesth | year= 2010 | volume= 57 | issue= 5 | pages= 423-38 | pmid=20143278 | url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/0384103252r31637/fulltext.html | doi=10.1007/s12630-010-9280-x }} </ref>
