Re: Overcoming apnea with weight loss
I think that's a little unfair... lots of people regain (maybe ? 80%) after losing and I doubt they all have apnea, though it's a valid theory, but blaming the 'victim' is a bit much.

Re: Overcoming apnea with weight loss
Are you trying to infer that weight gain isn't an often seen side effect of obstructive sleep apnea?

Re: Overcoming apnea with weight loss
Not at all... and it happened to me, if not to a great extent... I also think that for women at a certain age it's as much hormonal as anything... maddening, and very chicken or egg.

It doesn't, directly, but just sharing general principles.

Re: Overcoming apnea with weight loss
Losing excess weight is always a good idea.
The downside is that it can affect your mask fit, but not your need to wear one.
