Sleep Apnoea in Women – Spot the Difference
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea often goes undetected in women due to subtle symptoms. Rather than loud snoring or witnessed apnoeas, women commonly present with fatigue, insomnia, or mood changes — often misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression.
-
Unrefreshing sleep or daytime fatigue
-
Insomnia or light, fragmented sleep
-
Low mood, anxiety, memory fog
-
Resistant hypertension or metabolic indicators
Refer your patient for a sleep study with rapid turnaround and detailed specialist review.
