@leslieannofficial: Women are significantly underdiagnosed when it comes to sleep apnea. Studies suggest that up to 75–90% of women with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be undiagnosed, especially before menopause. Women often present with symptoms that don’t fit the “classic” sleep apnea picture seen in men. Instead of loud snoring and obvious breathing pauses, women are more likely to report: * Fatigue and exhaustion * Insomnia or frequent awakenings * Anxiety or depression * Brain fog and memory problems * Morning headaches * Low energy despite sleeping * Waking up gasping or choking * Night sweats * Palpitations For women in perimenopause and menopause, symptoms are often blamed on hormones, stress, aging, or insomnia rather than sleep apnea. The risk of sleep apnea also rises sharply after menopause due to hormonal changes. #sleepapnea #perimenopause #menopause #sleepissues #womenover40
