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
