Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects millions of people, often going undiagnosed and untreated. If CPAP, weight loss, or oral appliances haven’t worked for you, procedural options may provide long-term relief.
In this video, we discuss:
• Why OSA is common and how it affects your heart, lungs and sleep quality
• How sleep studies diagnose sleep apnea at home or in a sleep lab
• First-line treatments like CPAP, weight loss and positional therapy
• When to consider surgical procedures to target airway obstructions in the nose, tonsils, palate or tongue
At UCLA Health, our sleep experts use advanced diagnostic tools and customized surgical approaches to help you breathe easier and sleep better.
