Many people still believe that obstructive sleep apnea mainly affects men — but **women can also be significantly affected**, especially after midlife.
In women, the symptoms are often **different and more subtle**, which is why the condition is frequently **underdiagnosed**.
Some common signs include: excessive daytime fatigue, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, and sometimes **snoring that may be mild and go unnoticed**.

If a woman experiences **chronic fatigue, poor sleep, or snoring**, it is important to investigate possible sleep breathing disorders.
