Snoring may sound funny or irritating if it makes you lose sleep, but it's no laughting matter. Snoring can be a sign of a serious health problem called obstructive sleep apnea (osa).

Affecting 12 million Americans (twice as likely in men), osa involves breathing patterns during sleep. If osa is not treated, it can lead to other major health issue such as hypertention, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias and diabetes.

OSA symptoms include loud snoring, chocking or gasping that wakes you from your sleep. OSA can olso involve pauses in breathing during sleep, mayor daytime drowsiness, morning headaches, kicking or jerking legs while sleeping, or the inability to go to sleep or stay asleep.

If you think you have OSA symptoms, talk to your doctor.
