Weight Loss And Sleep Apnea

Being overweight or obese is one of the main risk factors for
obstructive sleep apnea, but the connection doesn't stop there. Most
sleep apnea patients carry at least a few extra pounds, and doctors
stress diet and exercise as part of their treatment, but getting back to
a healthy weight can be difficult.

Gaining weight can bring on sleep apnea …

After the birth of his daughter and a hectic year of studying for the
California bar exam, Mark Yanis let exercise and nutrition fall by the
wayside. Soon he had gained about 20 pounds, always felt run-down,
and was having trouble sleeping through the night.











Mark before his weight loss."My body was jolting me awake and I was
starving for air," says Yanis, 49, of Huntington Beach, Calif. He snored
so loudly that his wife often slept in another room. He had trouble
moving around and catching his breath, and was tired all the time.

Eventually Yanis was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Doctors
told him that his high tongue and narrow airways were part of the
problem and, at 5'10" and 220 pounds, that the extra weight he was
carrying brought it to the surface.

"The physical presence of extra tissue and fat in the neck compresses
the area related to sleep apnea," explains Charles Kimmelman, MD,
director of the New York City Ear, Nose and Throat Center (which
specializes in sleep apnea treatments). "The airway becomes more
narrow, while the organs and tissues swell—making for very little room
for the traveling oxygen."

Visiting a sleep center under the direct supervision of an experienced
doctor is an effective way to address sleep anea and at the same time
lose weight.
