Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious condition that affects 4-9% of the United States population. People with OSA have disrupted sleep due to blockage of the tongue in the back of the throat that can lead to snoring, gasping, and pauses in breathing. This can cause oxygen levels to drop, which over time, can lead to serious health problems including high blood pressure, stroke, increased risk of car accidents, insulin insensitivity (diabetes), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. OSA is also highly associated with obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), impotence or loss of libido, frequent nighttime urination (nocturia) and dementia.
