The prevalence in people younger than 40 years of age is about 10% and in those over age 40 is 17%. “It is quite common. “Studies have shown that a 10% increase in body weight increases the incidence of OSA six-fold. As for treatment, the best method is to use a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy. The test is available at most big hospitals and costs Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000. Snoring is one of the most common symptoms of OSA, but not everyone who snores has it. P – Do you have high blood PRESSURE,” says Dr Abhishek Tandon, who specialises in pulmonary and sleep medicine from AIIMS Jodhpur, on Twitter. When a person is obese, they develop extra fat on their larynx and pharynx (muscles in the throat) that can close off their airway in sleep. But that is not the case.” Although the condition doesn’t kill by itself, it can lead to heart attacks and strokes due to the low oxygen level. The muscles start relaxing in sleep and it is a garden hose like situation, you know, when there is no water, it flattens out and no air can go through,” said Dr Nevin Kishore, head of the bronchology department at Max Hospital, Saket. Obstructive sleep apnoea occurs when muscles in the throat and upper airway relax intermittently during sleep and block the airway. OSA also leads to a lot of road traffic accidents as people with OSA tend to doze off while driving.
