More than 25 million people in the United States have sleep apnea, which interrupts a person's breathing while they sleep. When people aren't treated for sleep apnea, the brain and the rest of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Canadian study reveals a significant link between high risk of sleep apnea and poor mental health in middle-aged and older adults. Researchers found those at high risk had substantially higher odds ...

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

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 ...

Research also suggests untreated sleep apnea is linked to a heightened risk of Parkinsons disease, a movement disorder ...

The National Council on Aging reveals that about 30 million people in the US have sleep apnea, but only six million of these people have actually been diagnosed. Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes ...

One of the most important metrics on a Fitbit tracker is the Estimated Oxygen Variation – and now that every tracker is fitted with an SpO2 sensor, everyone can take advantage. Blood oxygen can be ...

Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that interrupts breathing during sleep. In obstructive sleep apnea, the airway becomes blocked, causing breathing to stop for up to2 minutes. This condition affects ...
