When you have OSAS, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea, your breath can become very shallow or you can even stop breathing briefly while you sleep. It can happen many times a night in some people, decreasing and disturbing the quality of sleep of an individual. This makes them tired, irritable, or sleepy during the day. The common symptoms are, day-time sleepiness or fatigue, acid-reflux, frequent headaches, trouble concentrating, restlessness, snoring, waking suddenly in the night, feeling like your gasping for breath, and trouble getting up in the morning. Unfortunately, OSAS not only affect adults, but can also be seen in children. Children present with symptoms like bedwetting, sweating, behavioral disorders, sluggishness, lack of concentration, teeth-grinding, snoring etc.
