yes, but a normal BMI person gets sleep apnea issue but never detected it then the person becomes obese over time cause metabolism go down.

at the end, when the person is already obese then only detected sleep apnea and blame obesity for it.

Nah bra sleep apnea usually have complaints one.
If obesity doesn't directly cause it, it definitely exacerbates the condition.
Being gemok is never healthy.

This is what ENT specialist told me,
Research papers say the same also. (if die die can't accept this, nothing can say or discuss already)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5181619/

but obese do bring a much higher risk to have sleep apnea.

the ENT specialist calculated,
Current has 62 AHI,
even my weight drop to 70kg, i will still have 32 AHI which i will still have Sleep Apnea problem.

some ENTs specialists on youtube share that tongue and tonsil exercise could help relieve sleep apnea problems.

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

Easy way to see if u have high risk of sleep apnea is to do STOP BANG questionairre.. just google it.

to conclusively confirm it,

do a partial sleep study (level 3) or if u banyak duit or complicated case get a polysomnography(psg or full sleep study which is level 1/2)

from there can conclusively know what is ur condition

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

Operation UPPP = 85% successful rate.
CPAP = 95% successful rate
*
This. CPAP is the gold standard treatment already. Others like surgery and losing weight may help, but unless your apnea is very mild, you will still need to use CPAP after surgery and losing weight.

im just answering question on how usually they going to diagnose u with sleep apnea since i do work with the ent and respi dr in regards to sleep study and cpap.. im sorry if u think its "googled answer" thus may be wrong. im saying google the stop bang questionaire since usually dr would also ask the same type of question from that questionaire before referring for a sleep study test.

this is the same questionnaire i did when i first visit ENT specilist.

https://www.apneaboard.com/sleep-apnea-info...sleepiness-test

this could help, my score is 10.


but this test is not 100% accurate to detect Sleep Apnea, cause not everyone is able to answer it accurately.
