Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects an estimated 22 million Americans, and the majority are undiagnosed. It is especially common in men over 50 and those who are overweight.
Loud snoring, witnessed breathing pauses during sleep, gasping or choking episodes, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches and difficulty concentrating.
Untreated OSA increases risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and accidents (from daytime sleepiness). It is a serious medical condition, not a lifestyle inconvenience.
Sleep apnea requires medical diagnosis (typically a sleep study) and treatment (CPAP, oral appliance or surgery). No supplement — including Lungora — treats sleep apnea. If you suspect you have it, talk to your doctor immediately.
