My partner says I snore — does that mean I have sleep apnea?

Not necessarily — but it is a reason to be evaluated. Simple snoring without apneas or significant daytime consequences is benign, though often socially disruptive. The distinction between benign snoring and OSA requires objective testing — clinical history alone is insufficient. If your snoring is accompanied by any of the 10 signs listed in this guide — particularly witnessed breathing pauses, gasping, daytime sleepiness, or morning headaches — a sleep study at Pulmovista Clinics is the appropriate next step.
