Sleep apnea can be a sign of a more serious health problem: snoring

Summary

73% Informative

Sleep apnea is defined by having multiple sustained episodes of no breathing throughout the night .

About 12% of American adults estimated to have the condition.

About 25% to 50% of people snore at least occasionally.

Other signs of it include trouble sleeping, waking up with dry mouth, and feeling sleepy during the day .

In April , Eli Lilly announced the early results of two Phase III trials testing its diabetes and obesity drug tirzepatide for people with both obesity and obstructive sleep apnea.

The drug's effect on apnea seems to mostly come from its weight loss effect, that means it won’t do much of anything for many sufferers.
