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

Produced by: Maeve Winter
