Likewise, both physicians and patients may attribute daytime fatigue to the fact of \u201cbeing pregnant\u201d, instead of considering the possibility of sleep apnea. This results in the pregnant woman not having an accurate diagnosis, as she is not referred to a sleep specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Sleep Apnea in Pregnant Women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of sleep apnea in pregnant women include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologix.com.br\/en\/2020\/02\/05\/ronco-alto-e-frequente-entenda-como-o-ronco-pode-afetar-a-sua-qualidade-de-vida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Loud and persistent snoring.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suffocation or feeling out of breath due to a lack of air and agitated sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breathing pauses during sleep (apnea).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Morning headaches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologix.com.br\/en\/2020\/02\/05\/sonolencia-e-cansaco-diurno-confira-algumas-doencas-que-causam-cansaco-em-excesso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daytime drowsiness<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologix.com.br\/en\/2020\/02\/05\/dificuldade-de-concentracao-o-que-pode-ser-e-o-que-fazer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Problems with concentration and irritability.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the long term, if no treatment is assigned, the patient may develop symptoms such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, infarction, and heart failure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Snoring is the main symptom of sleep apnea. However, it is important to know that not all snoring is a consequence of this disorder. During pregnancy, especially during the third trimester,\nthe increase in snoring can have different causes, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hormonal changes, an attribute of pregnancy: Progesterone, which is necessary for the uterus to have contractions until delivery, relaxes the muscles of the airways. Therefore, there is a greater probability that they will collapse or narrow, leading to snoring. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight gain characteristic of pregnancy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other associated sleep problems, such as restless legs syndrome or increased nocturnal awakenings to go to the bathroom. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complications during Pregnancy Brought by Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep apnea during pregnancy can bring along several complications for both the mother and the\nfetus, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The baby is born underweight. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premature births.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of the mother developing pre-eclampsia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of developing gestational diabetes and the possibility that high blood sugar levels promote cardiovascular diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea is both simple and necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologix.com.br\/en\/2020\/09\/10\/em-ano-de-pandemia-exames-do-sono-biologix-crescem-236\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">. The Biologix Sleep Test\u00ae <\/a>is a multimodal polysomnography that can be conducted at home using only your cellphone and a wireless compact sensor. Therefore, it does not alter the patient\u2019s sleep routine. The patient just needs to place the sensor on their finger before going to sleep and start the test on the Biologix app. When waking up the next morning, they tap on \u201cFinish test\u201d, and they will receive their results in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy might be the right time for detecting undiagnosed cases of sleep apnea. If a woman\nsuffers from any of the aforementioned symptoms, she should seek a physician to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"3414\" class=\"elementor elementor-3414\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bba2a7b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bba2a7b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a39b97d\" data-id=\"a39b97d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b06e35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7b06e35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biologix.com.br\/en\/paciente\/#busca-centros\" id=\"buscar-centro-credenciado\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Look for an accredited center<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: Only properly qualified physicians can diagnose diseases,<br>recommend treatments, and prescribe medications.
