On demandObstructive Sleep Apnea in Women
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in women is often underdiagnosed and undertreated because the symptoms are not always obvious, such as loud snoring. Many women instead experience fatigue, poor sleep, headaches, mood changes, or insomnia, which are often mistaken for stress or lifestyle issues. This webinar explores how OSA presents differently in women and why it is frequently missed in routine diagnosis. It also highlights the long-term health risks if left untreated, including cardiovascular and metabolic complications. The session emphasizes the need for greater awareness, early screening, and timely intervention to improve patient outcomes.
