Description

26 million adult Americans have sleep apnea and 80-90% represent undiagnosed cases. Why have these numbers remained so high when there are easier diagnostic and treatment options than ever? In this episode we will:

• Discuss obstacles to diagnosis
• See how the lack of symptom specificity adds to the problem
• Consider if lack of provider awareness is really an issue
• Look at fear as a factor holding patients back
• Evaluate the difficulty of getting sleep studies
