Summary:
The Indian Association of Surgeons of Sleep Apnea will undertake a pan-India study of sleep apnea to record the incidence of the disorder in the general population. Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. It is likely that one has sleep apnea if he/she snores loudly and feels tired even after a full night’s sleep. Disorders like diabetes and hypertension get normalised when obstructive sleep apnea is treated, he said. One of the common forms of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea and its prevalence is thought to be increasing due to the obesity epidemic..
