Yes — and this surprises many patients. While snoring is the most recognised symptom of OSA, approximately 10–20% of OSA patients do not snore — or their snoring is mild enough not to be noticed. This is particularly common in women with OSA, whose presentations are often more subtle than the classic male pattern of loud snoring and witnessed apneas. Daytime symptoms — excessive sleepiness, morning headaches, cognitive impairment, and mood changes — should prompt sleep apnea evaluation at Pulmovista Clinics even in the absence of snoring.
