sleep apnea is terrible. are you obese?

yes

and the ENT specialist says,
Obese can cause sleep apnea -> sleep apnea cause obese worst cause metabolism go down, -> which cause sleep apnea more serious.
the cycle keep repeat, treatment is to stop sleep apnea problem first and losing fat, but no cure as, obese is not the main cause but do cause it more serious.

What’s the symptoms?

Since when you have the symptoms?

Cukur I only have insomnia.

yeah.
take care of your health man. when sleep apnea patients go bad, they go really bad.

I think it is only proper to ask how does anyone knows they have it?

1. Snoring
2. feel tired during the day. when you sit there doing nothing, u feel like wanna sleep.
3. watch a movie, can lead you to sleep also.
4. getting more and more fat/obese

Just lose weight will help a lot

during Work from home time.
when trap in house and working daily.

feel something not right, then go check and detected this issue.

People with weakness of esophagus muscles. Sleep halfway, muscles collapse, obstruct breathing airway and apnea results. In extreme obesity, high cholesterol & LDL narrow breathing airways and apnea

I pencil neck

Lose weight can cure doc?

the ENT specialist says it will help reduce the severity but no cure.

Operation UPPP = 85% successful rate.
CPAP = 95% successful rate

Yes, ayam no doc
Mostly in extreme obese individuals apnea will be prominent

fatigue despite sufficient sleep, somnolence, waking up at night due to breathlessness, snoring. these are the usual red flag early symptoms

sleep study appointment is hard to get, and once youre diagnosed the cpap machine is expensive.

is sleep apnea same as chronic insomnia?

How the doctor diagnosed you? Give u a device to wear during sleep at home?

Soon ma
