Guideline: ACP recommends weight loss and CPAP therapy for obstructive sleep apnea
People diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should not consider surgery, according to new recommendations from the American College of Physicians (ACP).

More than 18 million American adults have sleep apnea, which increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and diabetes and increases the chance of driving or other accidents. Sleep apnea is a leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness...

But the current study reveals that night-time reduction in blood pressure may be less significant than originally thought...
