There are many symptoms that can be common in sleep apnea. The following are the symptoms. Excessive daytime sleepiness, which is falling asleep when you normally should not, such as while you are eating, talking, or driving. Loud snoring is the next symptom.

 Almost all people who have sleep apnea snore, but not all people who snore have sleep apnea. Morning or night headaches are common. About half of all people with sleep apnea report headaches. People say that Sweating and chest pain occurs while you are sleeping.

Children who have sleep apnea nearly always snore. But they may not appear to be excessively sleepy during the day. Most people who have sleep apnea will notice their symptoms before others will. They most often feel sleepiness and an inability to concentrate during the day. Many feel that they sleep without resting, that the night seems to go by unnoticed, and the alarm is going off before they feel rested. Other apnea symptoms they may notice are heartburn, headaches and swelling of the extremities. The only symptom of sleep apnea in some children may be that they do not grow as quickly as they should for their age. Growth is slow compared to other children.
