Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a serious condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, leading to interrupted breathing and poor-quality rest. Recent studies have highlighted a strong connection between excess weight and the severity of sleep apnea. Dr. Amit Garg, a renowned expert in sleep medicine, explains how weight loss can play a crucial role in managing and potentially alleviating the symptoms of sleep apnea. By reducing fatty tissue around the neck and throat, weight loss helps reduce airway obstruction, improving breathing patterns and overall sleep quality. In this informative session, Dr. Garg provides practical insights on lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, that can support weight loss and lead to better sleep outcomes for individuals suffering from sleep apnea.
