Sleep apnea is a serious condition, causing breathing to stop and start several times during sleep. The most common form of the condition is obstructive sleep apnea, where the throat narrows, blocking ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that tackling obstructive sleep apnea’s two root causes at once, using both oxygen and a jaw-forwarding device, can dramatically cut breathing interruptions ...

Supplemental oxygen eliminates the rise in morning blood pressure experienced by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients who stop using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the standard ...

Continuous positive airway pressure – or CPAP – machines help people with sleep apnea, a stoppage of proper breathing for 10 seconds or more while asleep because the upper airways have a blockage of ...

Continuous positive airway pressure machines, otherwise known as CPAP, are used to help persons with sleep apnea, who may experience periods of impaired breathing through the night when throat muscles ...

Obstructive sleep apnea decreases blood flow to the brain, elevates blood pressure within the brain and eventually harms the brain's ability to modulate these changes and prevent damage to itself. The ...

Sleep apnea can raise insulin resistance when breathing pauses deprive the body of oxygen, which can lead to higher blood sugar and a higher A1C over time. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in ...

Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with hypertension, inflammation, and increased cardiovascular risk. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces blood pressure, but adherence is often ...

Q. I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea. Is there any connection between the two? A. There’s one sure connection between type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea — if you’re ...
