Serious Warning Signs Of Sleep Apnea

Dry Mouth

A dry mouth may be indicative of certain issues that increase an individual's risk of developing sleep apnea. When the nose is blocked, individuals have to breathe through their mouths during the night. Mouth breathing for several hours causes the mouth to become dry. There are a number of issues that can cause nasal blockage, many of which are temporary. Seasonal allergies, colds, and the flu can all lead the nasal passages to be blocked by mucus. A deviated nasal septum is a genetic condition that can cause nasal blockage during sleep. When individuals breathe through their mouth, it can contribute to snoring and also lead to airway collapse.
