HYDERABAD: Even though obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with sudden cardiac arrest and cause for heart issues, the awareness about the disease is very low.
In fact, snoring, which is the key symptom of this silent killer disease continues to be ignored and rather thought of as a good thing. This often leads to people not seeking medical help when required. OSA is a condition characterized by complete/partial obstruction of the upper airway that disrupts normal sleep patterns.
