Sleep Disorder That’ll Take Your Breath Away

oxygenSleep apnoea is not a health condition that ranks highly on the list of suspected conditions for patients as well as physicians. This has led sleep and respiratory specialists to believe that up to 90% of sleep apnoea cases in adults and children go unnoticed.

Children and adults can all have sleep apnoea which is either missed or misdiagnosed. The obvious symptoms of sleep apnoea are the feeling of tiredness and headaches in the morning.
