Abstract

A group of women are talking about their husbands' sleep habits. Tossing, turning, snoring, and falling asleep in the easy chair right after dinner come up. Then someone says, "What really bothers me is when he quits breathing." Several other spouses agree. What they may not know is that this is sleep apnea, which can have serious consequences if left untreated. Drs Chua and Chediak discuss risk factors, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
