Do I have Sleep Apnea? Common signs of sleep apnea may include, but are not limited to, loud snoring, headaches, sore or dry throat after waking up, using the bathroom multiple times through the night, feeling restless throughout the day and even depression or high levels of irritability. Have any of your family members noticed severe snoring, choking, gasping for breath, snorting, or any other kind of suffocating noise during your sleep?
