Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing disorders affect an estimated 20 million Americans. As many as 70 million are undiagnosed with potentially life threatening consequences.
And it's not just big guys who are impacted. Nearly 1 in 5 women have sleep apnea, but 9 out of 10 women who have it, don't realize it.
And it doesn't effect just adults. 2-3% of children are believed to have sleep apnea, with the disorder believed to be as high as 10-20% in children who habitually snore.
In today's episode of Nexus Connexus, we talk with founder Brett Brocki about how sleep apnea affected him, Lisa Moler, about the process of getting tested for sleep disorders, and Steve Carstensen, DDS about the impact on sleeping disorders in children.
