I have to disagree with you on this. I would agree being overweight contributes to sleep apnea but is no way the only cause for many people. Some; yes. I wish I had been diagnosed 30 years ago when I was of course much younger and very fit. All that time getting so little sleep (from sleep apnea) took its toll on my job(s) and other things in life. If only I knew then what I know now. Sigh.
I have had patients admit weight loss was easier on CPAP, possibly because they were more alert and awake and found activities fun again. Glad it’s helping.
Agreed, but the explosion in cases of sleep apnea is due solely to preventable health matters.
