Symptoms and Signs of Central Sleep Apnea
Central sleep apnea may be asymptomatic, detected by caretakers or bed partners who notice long, quiet respiratory pauses and shallow breaths followed by hyperpnea, or restless sleep. When symptoms occur, patients may experience Insomnia and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) (sometimes called wake-time sleepiness), lethargy, and morning headache.
