Feeling tired no matter how much you sleep? Struggling with daytime fatigue or hearing concerns about your snoring? You could be experiencing sleep apnea—and you’re not alone.
Did You Know?
Millions of Canadians face this condition with up to 80% going undiagnosed, according to the Alberta Lung Association. In Canada, sleep apnea is on the rise, driven by lifestyle factors like obesity and stress.
If left untreated, sleep apnea can take a toll on your health—from heart issues to mental fog. But here’s the good news: 2025 is your year to take charge. With Snore MD’s CARE FOR LIFE program, diagnosis and treatment have never been easier.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea occurs when breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The two most common types are:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Breathing interruptions caused by blocked airways.
- Central Sleep Apnea: The brain doesn’t send proper signals to the breathing muscles.
Without treatment, sleep apnea can lead to serious health risks like high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Could sleep apnea be behind your restless nights? According to the Canada Lung association, over 1 in 4 (26%) Canadian adults have a high risk of having or developing obstructive sleep apnea—but many don’t recognize the symptoms.
Here are common warning signs:
- Loud snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Frequent awakenings at night
- Persistent daytime fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
- Mood changes, such as irritability or depression
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to take action.
