Comment on Rethinking What Counts as ‘Well-Treated’ Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Anonymous
['Emma Cooksey']
Comments for Sleep Review
The dentist shared that he had a patient with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who was unable to use his CPAP machine.
In that time, I have recorded more than 140 episodes of my podcast, “Sleep Apnea Stories,” interviewing people living with sleep apnea about their treatment choices as well as experts from different specialties.
I have learned so much about the broad spectrum of experiences in our sleep apnea community and the reasoning behind individual treatment choices.
I can understand the frustration of board-certified sleep specialists who prescribe CPAP therapy to their patients, only to see it abandoned.
Reducing the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and improving the quality of life for each individual is a worthy goal, even without hitting fewer than five events per hour.
