Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea include a feeling of fatigue, snoring, re-awakening, morning headache and excessive daytime sleepiness. The diagnosis is based on a history of sleep, physical examination and polysomnography.

Central night apnea

Central nocturnal sleep apnea (sleep apnea) is a heterogeneous group of states characterized by changes in the respiratory center or a decrease in the ability to breathe without the development of airway obstruction; most of these conditions cause asymptomatic changes in the structure of breathing during sleep.
