Headaches upon waking up are a classic symptom of OSA. The apneas reduce the oxygen level in the blood, and one of the first things that is effected is the brain. Regards, Lee — Lee Babcock Toronto in the GWN

Obstructional Sleep Apnea. Loose definition: Some form of tissue (could be flapping, could be swollen, could be thicker than normal) blocks an area of the nose or throat which makes it harder to breathe. During the day usually gravity provides one source which helps push the blockage out of the way, at night laying on one’s side, back or stomach, gravity becomes the enemy pulling the same tissue further into the air passage. When when the obstruction causes mini awakenings and/or causes your blood to carry less than the optimum amount of Oxygen, it becomes apnea and a health threat. — Magesteff - "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."-Albert Einstein ——————————————————– Pursuant to US Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II,
