Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea, affecting over 936 million people globally, is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type. Untreated, sleep apnea can lead to hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. The condition often requires lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, or surgery.
