Patients who experience OHS and OSA concurrently are at a greater risk for heart damage.
The first step is to determine whether you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), hyponea or primary snoring.
People with OSA may experience a weakened heart rate recovery after exercising, which indicates that the autonomic system's ability to regulate heart rate is out of balance.
People with undiagnosed OSA and type 2 diabetes may have trouble getting effective treatment for the diabetic condition.
It is important to make the diagnosis of OSA, but it often gets overlooked.
