The two main types of sleep apnea are obstructive and central. Obstructive is far more common and involves snoring, gasping for air and other sounds with the collapse of the upper muscles of the throat. Generally only a spouse or bedpartner would notice these things as they occur when the person is asleep and thus may not be apparent. Anyone concerned about sleep apnea--either obstructive or central--should discuss concerns and symptoms with their primary care doctor who would be able to see whether sleep testing is warranted or referral to a sleep specialist.
Great explanation of CSA. I just completed a study and await results. Thank you for posting this!

God bless, sir, but you need to sit across from your window when filming, not right in front of it.
Or does central apnea cause heart failure from lack of oxygen and adrenaline fro waking every couple of minutrs
If I Turn Over In The Middle of the night and Sit Up In The Middle of the night to take A Breath Could I Have Sleep Apnea
